Maribyrnong council is seeking community feedback on the role they play in delivering current in-home services for seniors and older residents.
For locals aged over 60, those in the 40-60 age group or those who support an older person in Maribyrnong, are invited by council to Central West Shopping Centre on Thursday, July 13.
From 9:30am to 11:30am council will be seeking feedback from attendees to be better informed of future-decision making to help people age well across all aspects of their daily lives.
Maribyrnong council said they share a commitment towards inclusion, equality, and pride in the diverse community.
Ensuring all people can age well within the city recognising in 2021, 15.5 per cent, or 13,191 residents were aged 60 years and over.
During April, council ran a series of workshops targeting residents aged 60 years and over, their families and carers, to explore needs, issues, and experiences related to ageing in Maribyrnong.
Council transitioned away from domestic assistance, personal care, and respite services in 2019, but continues to support our eligible older residents with food deliveries, home maintenance and modifications, centre-based respite, and lawn mowing.
They also work in partnership with LINK Community Transport to fund transport for elderly residents.
