Chamber supports passage of senior services levy

0

At its April 18 meeting, the Delaware Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted to endorse the senior services levy that voters will see on the May 8 ballot. The 1.2-mill renewal plus the .01 mill will allow SourcePoint to continue services at their current level as well as provide for Delaware County’s growing senior population.

From 2000-2010, the over-65 population in Delaware County grew by 83.3 percent. SourcePoint provides a menu of services to this population, many of which allow for seniors to remain in their own homes. A short list of their services includes providing in-home visits, transportation to medical appointments, routine home maintenance, personal care, adult day care, prescriptions access and assistance, and of course, their award-winning Meals on Wheels program. SourcePoint allows seniors a place to create a community of friends who come together to exercise, recreate and support each other.

The Chamber encourages voters to visit SourcePoint to meet the caring staff that together supports a dignified and healthy environment for the senior population in Delaware County. Passage of the levy is a good value when held to quality of life standards, something that sets Delaware County apart in the central Ohio region, and the Chamber urges voters to support the levy.
