Minutes 3-25-15 Page 2 3. PUBLIC DISCUSSION Seerden welcomed City of Thousand Oaks Council on Aging Commissioner, Nancy Healey, to the meeting and invited her to address the Commission. Healy explained that as part of the City of Thousand Oaks Council on Aging Senior Adult Master Plan, council members have over the last two to three years, studied the Village to Village Network. She said the closest "Network," located in Santa Barbara, has been in operation for three years and described it as basically a group of seniors that like to help other seniors. Healy said of prime interest is the Stay in Home Longer program that assists seniors to continue to live on their own, in their own homes, as opposed to moving into an assisted living facility. She said four focus group meetings are planned to assess the need and gage the desire of the community for such a program. Healy noted that the first of the four focus group meetings will be made up of "senior leaders," individuals that are already involved with the senior community. She said the initial focus group meeting is scheduled on April 13 at the Thousand Oaks Library, and the intention is to plan and develop questions to be used at the general public focus group meetings. Healy requested that the Goebel Senior Center Commission be represented at the initial meeting. Blum, Cleary, Colilles-Fuentes, and Schiano agreed to attend and participate at the initial focus group meeting on April 13. 4.
