Committee raises concerns over outreach after senior service reduction

Albany County Care Committee · August 3, 2026

Summary

Committee members discussed whether notices about a reduction in a senior service (referred to as "go go grand") reached all county senior programs and noted the service will continue but priced "at cost," not free.

Miss Stokes told members the letters sent about a reduction in a senior service explained the change but a committee member said they were unsure whether notices went beyond current service users to senior programs across the county, citing Gilbert, Sears and the Hilltowns as examples.

Committee members discussed that the service in question remains available to users but will now be provided "at cost" rather than free. Members asked staff to follow up to confirm broader outreach to senior programs so that potentially affected seniors receive notice of the change.
