Robson Reserve was the perfect host for this summer’s Neighbors Who Care Aging Made Easier Summer Speaker Series on Thursdays in June.

Thanks to knowledgeable speakers from VeteranImprovedPension.com, Hospice of the Valley, Phoenix ER, and Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery speaking on a variety of important topics such as Extended Care Planning and Living with Chronic Illness.

Robson Reserve offered refreshments to the group. Look for more information on Neighbor Who Care’s next Aging Made Easier later this year. It is scheduled for Jan. 30, 2024, and will be hosted once again by Risen Savior Lutheran Church.

About the organization: Neighbors Who Care is a nonprofit organization founded in 1994. Its mission is to assist the homebound, disabled, and/or frail elderly in the communities of Sun Lakes and South Chandler, which have the third highest population of elderly adults statewide but lack sufficient wraparound human services programs to address the population’s needs, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Its operational goal is to recruit, train, and manage community volunteers to provide quality, non-medical assistive services to enrolled clients via a “neighbor helping neighbor” approach, which has helped our clients, on average, remain in their homes for an additional four years (www.neighborswhocare.com).
