Care For Life participated in the National Aging in Place Week in the Greater Charleston area in October. Locations in Summerville, Mount Pleasant and James Island were utilized to host the events during the week. A letter the SC Aging in Place Council (www.scaipc.org) received tells the wonderful story:

“Yesterday (October 15) I went to play bridge at the Lowcountry Senior Center (James Island). Your program was there instead. My good luck! Thanks for being a program for seniors in this transitional stage of life! I’ve shared the information brochures, addresses, etc. with my husband along with notes I took at each of the five presentations and from the AIP Council representatives.

As newcomers, and in the right age group (84 and 86) we are naturally making mental notes and possible plans for our next step. You provided answers in many areas….and we met many dedicated, genuine and caring people during those few hours. You provide such a great atmosphere of hope and help!! I came away reassured, even during this time of doubt and fear that our country is experiencing. [The sing-along was fun, too!]

We are keeping the list of sponsors in a prominent place and have even zeroed in on the transportation area for the day when we have to stop driving and for the evenings when we do not drive. Many, many thanks for your help in providing resources for us and all who come your way.”

Sincerely, Clare from Charleston
