Welcome to Gunnison County Seniors online! There is so much going on this month- Please take time to visit the calendar section for all kinds of events and special programs that might be of interest to you.

Caregiver Needs Survey~

Are you a caregiver? Are you providing unpaid assistance to a spouse, relative, or friend who is ill, disabled, or needs help with basic activities of daily living? Do you help with rides to the doctor, shopping, meals, bill paying, bathing, grooming, dressing, walking or transferring to a wheelchair, housekeeping, managing medications, or arranging services to be provided by others? If you provide services like these, whether or not you live with the person you are helping, you are a caregiver.

The Senior Resources Advisory Board of Gunnison County would like to know how well family caregivers feel they are supported by the community, both with formal (professional) services and informal (friends/family/faith-based, etc) services. Please help us by completing the following survey on-line by clicking here TAKE SURVEY
