Sam Hughes Cares for Seniors News

While Sam Hughes Cares for Seniors is still a vital part of the SHNA, we find we need to take a brief hiatus at this time. The coordinator, Trudy Mills, needs to travel to North Carolina to help with her mother who has some health care concerns.

So, at this time, we will not be training new volunteers or signing up any new seniors for the program. Current volunteers will continue assisting seniors who are already signed up with the program.

In the meantime, we suggest that any senior needing assistance call Interfaith Community Services at 297-2738 ext 206. They operate very much like SHCS. The senior will need to be visited by someone from Interfaith Community Services in order to register for the services. The registration is simple and free (as are the services). The folks there are really nice and helpful.

Updates on SHCS will be posted here and on the listserv. Also, you can call our number, 561-0113, for any updates.

Quality of Life Survey

by Gabriela Head and Tania Capin.

Crime reduction, prevention efforts, and connecting with neighbors are just some of the things that Sam Hughes residents perceive as important in maintaining a good quality of life in our neighborhood, according to data reported in the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Quality of Life Survey.

Click here to read the 46-page report compiled by two Sam Hughes residents which outlines research findings, a situation analysis and recommendations on how to foster more social connectedness within the neighborhood. Click here for a summary and survey facts.

(Editor's note: There was a presentation of the survey on October 28, 2009 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Hardesty Midtown Conference Room. Click here for more information.)
