   CARE - Community Alliance Resources for Elders Minimize  

Elder-focused Community Advisory Group  

A community advisory network for the ATSU Aging Project recently met to begin collaborating on areas of interest regarding the quality of life of the elderly in NEMO.  Officially named Community Alliance: Resources for Elders (CARE), the group desires to generate services for the elderly and expand health profession students' interaction with elders and their advocates.

 Some of the ways the members will provide input to ATSU include:  

1. Answering surveys initiated by the ATSU Aging Program; 

2. Sharing ATSU Aging Program opportunities with staff, directors, and clients;     

3. Hosting students for short "shadowing experiences"; 

4. Offering volunteer opportunities for students;   

5. Co-planning service-learning projects that engages health professions' students;   

6. Sharing literature about the agencies, services, and/or clients with the ATSU Aging Program faculty and staff; and 

7. Participating in on-campus lectures, round-table discussions.
