Los Altos and Los Altos Hills have been accepted as Age-Friendly Cities!! Big kudos to initiative leader Anabel Pelham. As a part of the AF application, Senior New Ways will receive future tasking under grants. The first grant proposal team is being organized.
I will be presenting “Caregivers: Take A Deep Breath” at El Camino Hospital on November 18, as part of the World COPD Day event, hopefully the start of another caregiver group.
We presented our program overview at the United Methodist Church of Los Altos on November 12. In cooperation with a committee of church members, SNW will be one source of speakers on at least spiritual, health, and family topics for the community. A focus is the “40-70” rule, an estimated age range between adult children and their parents for “having the talk”.
I played the “tired cook” in a Norman Rockwell “living masterpiece” at the UMC art show in November… dear me, another disguise… I still prefer Elvis though.
We will be part of a National Volunteer Caregivers Network grant application for assistance in setting up visitor-caregiver networks in this area.
