Thetford Elder Network
THETFORD ELDER NETWORK
We are a group of community volunteers who meet monthly to plan and organize programs and assistance for seniors.
We work closely with the Thetford Senior and Affordable Housing Committee:
1) To enable members of our community, of all ages, to remain in Thetford in the face of changing conditions or circumstances.
2) To allow people to stay in their homes as long as possible.
3) To integrate senior housing into the life of the community and fabric of the town. To balance values such as self-reliance, privacy, thrift, and access to needed services including health care.
