DANVILLE, Ill – Vermilion County residents are invited to participate in the Vermilion County Older Adult Survey. This is a crucial initiative to improve the well-being of older adults in the community. The survey, designed to gather insights on how older adults access food, stay physically active, and maintain social connections, is being conducted by a collaborative effort between University of Illinois Extension, CRIS Healthy Aging, Carle at the Riverfront, and OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center.
The information collected from this survey will help identify challenges older residents face and uncover opportunities for improving local programs and services. By understanding barriers to essential resources, the survey aims to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for older adults in Vermilion County. “Your feedback is vital to helping us build a community where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive,” said Tracy Bowden, survey coordinator. “This is an important opportunity to share your experiences and help us make positive changes in the county.”
The anonymous survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It is confidential, and the results will be used solely for research and planning purposes to enhance the quality of life for older adults.
Residents can access the survey online at go.illinois.edu/GoldenVC or request assistance by contacting Tracy Bowden at 217-300-3446 or Tbowden@illinois.edu.
