Great Falls Residents Invited to Take Senior Survey, Shape Direction of Programs

The Great Falls Citizens Association (GFCA) proposes to create the Great Falls Senior Center in a public-private partnership with Fairfax County.  This Center will be designed as a "center without walls" using existing public, private and church buildings for the meetings, having the goal of helping seniors “age in place” here in Great Falls.  Equally important is to offer assistance to the caregivers who may need some support or assistance in their care of a senior. Plans for the Center include special events and classes, transportation, and social visits.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and will be used to assist in developing programs to serve senior citizens.  Since many seniors do not use computers it would be a great service if a caring person could assist a senior to complete the survey. The initial survey period is April 1 through June 28.  Please go to  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GFCA.
