Resources for senior residents

One of the visions in our Town's Comprehensive Plan is 
"That the senior citizens of the Township may
continue to live here in a manner which they find harmonious"

 It's up to all of us to help make this happen.
Enhanced awareness, services and infrastructure can allow for
aging in place and help maintain quality of life for the Town’s senior population.
