SCOPE logoAging with Dignity and Independence

Are you an older adult, or do you work, live or interact with older adults? If so, you are invited to share your stories as part of a community initiative to discover what contributes to aging with dignity and independence.

SCOPE, the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee and The Patterson Foundation are looking for your feedback with the goal of developing innovative and technological ways for older adults to age with dignity and independence.


There are two ways to participate:


· Attend a community forum from 2-3:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 10, at North Sarasota Library, 2801 Newtown Blvd., Sarasota
· Visit www.scopexcel.org, and click on the red button to share your story. An online survey for people 65 years and older is also available on this website. Your responses are anonymous.
