Aging With Grace in Cape Meares
At CACC gatherings, we highlight concerns around aging in place in our small communities, and facilitate social connections that enrich our lives.
Our villages in the Nehalem Bay Area comprise a naturally occurring retirement community — a place where more than half the residents are of retirement age. Yet there are not sufficient services to support aging in place; we rely on neighbors helping neighbors.
Many people express a desire to live out their lives here, in this place they love. But many eventually must move away to live closer to caregivers and support services.
The tiny village of Cape Meares, tucked along the northern foot of the towering Cape Meares, is home to only 90 full-time residents. Median age in the village is 75 years.
Join us November 10, 2 to 4PM, to learn how residents of this isolated village are actively nurturing a community of support and awareness to prepare residents for aging in place and end of life.
We welcome Beverly Stein, Kathy Burke and Narayan Lincoln from the Aging With Grace program of the Cape Meares Community Association to the Pine Grove in Manzanita for this opportunity to learn from this proactive group, exchange ideas, share resources and envision collaboration between our small North Coast communities. Come join for conversation and refreshments after the presentation.
