Wayland Town Crier 6/22/10: Keeping local seniors independent in their own homes. As they grow older, most people would prefer to remain independent and living in their own home. But sometimes that requires a little help, and as they say, "good help is hard to find." One way to address the problem was developed right here in Massachusetts by Beacon Hill Village. This organization is a new model of service provision for people who are growing older, but want to stay in their own homes. The group is still exploring options, but one possibility is there would not be a membership fee in our local version of the plan, at least for the basic service of care management. Seniors would pay for services they receive, but the thought is this would be at a rate much more affordable than that charged by an agency. A meeting about the idea will be held at the Sudbury Senior Center on Wednesday, June 30 at 1:30pm. Refreshments will be served. Call 978-443-3055 to reserve your spot.
