Survey Results Update: Webpage : “Information for Seniors: continued
The Township website does have a tab (INFORMATION FOR SENIORS) that will link you to critical news, updates and other resource information specifically pertaining to Seniors.
This tab is readily accessible on the main page of the website under “Resource links,” and has been re-designed by Township IT staff to be more user-friendly. In response to the survey, the Senior Citizen Advisory Council will now be utilizing this link as our primary vehicle for information dissemination as resources and other outcomes emerge from the survey review process. Paired with pertinent Township information, this page will provide Seniors with instant access to current, ongoing information updates.
Survey Results Update: Webpage : Sourcing Affordable Home Repairs and Maintenance
There were numerous requests for referrals to obtain home repair and basic maintenance services offered at reduced / discounted rates for Seniors. Haverford Township, as a government entity (including the Senior Citizen Advisory Council), cannot issue such recommendations or endorsements for any vendor, contractor, business, or service provider. While not considered an endorsement, but merely information--sharing, Surrey Services of Delaware County, a private not-for-profit agency, has a program called “The Handy Hands Registry.” This registry provides for such referrals and is detailed on the Surrey Services website.
