AARP estimates that >20% of over age 65 seniors are not driving; a. Percentage suggests that @ 3037 seniors in Georgetown are not driving b. @ 700 seniors are living in Independent / Assisted living. Their community typically does provide some transportation for them. 2. Faith In Action in Georgetown had more than 500 clients in 2014 and provided over 5000 rides Issue: Seniors who don't drive need door to door service for doctor appointments, shopping, and personal care appointments Brief description of Transportation resources and issues: It is estimated that Georgetown has approximately 3000 seniors who are unable to drive themselves to errands and appointments. Faith in Action, a non-profit Church affiliated community service currently serves @ 500 senior clients and provided 5000 door to door rides in 2014. While CARTS does have both fixed route and demand response service, it does not serve the door-to-door needs of mobility impaired seniors. The demand for transportation exceeds the available supply. We foresee a growing need to: • Encourage and support Faith in Action to grow to meet demand • Find a way to propose and support additional van transportation initiatives to get seniors to and from the Downtown District, Wolf Ranch, RR Outlet, HEB and medical facilities • Promote the consideration of the Virtual Villages concept in the various segments of the City Linda White From: Dan Bonner < Sent: Friday, November 20, 2015 5:53 PM To: Tim O'Neill Cc: Linda White; Dawn Jennings; Gene Jantzen; John Sullivan; Ginny Hahn; Virginia Lazenby; Josephine Zamora; PAT CORRIGAN Subject: Re: Dan's draft of the questions to conclude Commission on Aging's workshop presentation to City Council I vote for a separate section for recommendations.

In our proposed community survey, we affirm the conclusions in the 2012 Georgetown Aging Initiative Summary Report (copy attached) as essentially unchanged for the heavily Anglo residential areas of Georgetown. Do you agree? 2. We propose to build on that survey by focusing our survey on the heavily Hispanic Southeast Quadrant and the historically African American community, extending from west of the square (MLK Blvd.) to the South San Gabriel River. Do you agree? If costs for our focused needs assessment study for these two areas of our city are anticipated in the near future as we clarify our research method, could you give us some general parameters of what the City of Georgetown might contribute to this study? Is it our responsibility to secure any other needed funds? 3. We propose working collaboratively with the Georgetown Health Foundation's recently concluded study of the SE Quadrant, as well as with other city commissions who have some overlapping areas of concern with us regarding the needs of senior adults, e.g. Commission on Transportation, Commission on Housing, et al. Do you agree? For Tim, my other assignment was to write a brief description of community churches as a resource for seniors. Here goes: "Georgetown's most plentiful social networking hubs for senior adults today are the many religious fellowships in our city. Especially for those fellowships whose ministry history exceeds fifteen years, the majority of their members are sixty-five years of age or older. Fellowship and religious care in times of need are provided in copious quantity by these dozens of religious fellowships. In addition a number of the larger congregations have specific ministries of recreation and instruction for senior adults. Five fellowships (First United Methodist Church, First Baptist Church, Main Street Baptist Church, Wellspring United Methodist Church, and The Worship Place in Sun City) carry out weekly half -day ministries for persons living with Alzheimer's Disease or advanced dementia."
