Interns highlight senior services' role in keeping residents out of nursing homes
Summary
An intern described senior services programs in Granville County — including Meals on Wheels and countywide outreach — as critical to helping older residents remain at home rather than enter nursing facilities.
Tyler Jastrow, an intern who spent time with senior services, emphasized the department's programs designed to keep seniors active and out of nursing homes.
"Programs like Meals on Wheels and carts that go around all of Granville County help maintain the freedom of those who otherwise would be placed into nursing homes," Jastrow said. He described social activities, fitness programs and instructional classes that serve older residents and praised the longevity and organization of senior services in the county.
