Located in The Armoury, Community Care is across from the Post Office and beside the Picton Library. Individual offices provide much needed privacy for clients and staff. A resource area gives seniors access to information on retirement and aging. While we do not serve as a drop-in centre, our quarters allow for a sitting area where seniors waiting to keep appointments can be comfortably seated and others may rest briefly from the rigours of shopping or whatever. This area is a warm and inviting place for seniors to visit.
Coffee is available and accessible washrooms are nearby.
By encouraging seniors to use this facility, it is hoped that they will feel more at ease when they need any of our services. The high proportion of older adults in this County necessitates the provision of a wide range of programs and services. In our Needs Survey of 1979 we said that population forecasts indicate that these percentages of seniors will continue to increase and will widen the gap between the county and the province. Two factors have influenced the higher percentage of seniors in the County. One is the attractiveness of Prince Edward County as a retirement area.
