Thrive Alliance seeks older adult opinions
Nov. 19—COLUMBUS — Thrive Alliance is asking residents to participate in The Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults.
The survey is designed to provide a picture of how Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, and Jennings is serving older adult residents, to gauge older adult perceptions of the community and to make comparisons with other communities across the nation.
A random and scientific sample of households will receive invitations in the mail to participate in the survey within the next week. If you receive an invitation to participate in the survey by mail, it is important to complete that version. If you do not receive an invitation you may complete the survey at https://polco.us/indiana21.
The survey includes questions about the quality of life in the community, local policies, demographics, rating of local government services and resident use of services.
Residents who receive the questionnaire are encouraged to complete it and return it in the postage-paid envelope.
Community leaders look forward to receiving the results and taking action on the information received.
Thrive Alliance contracted with National Research Center, Inc. to participate in CASOA, a survey process that was developed to provide communities and those serving older adults with a low-cost, high-quality method to conduct research in order to better serve their community.
This is the third time that Thrive Alliance has participated in the CASOA survey.
