Wesley Village in Shelton seeks caregivers for focus group

SHELTON - Wesley Village, a campus of senior living communities in Shelton, is looking for caregivers to help with a special new initiative. 

Local residents who are currently caring for an aging loved one are invited to participate in a one-hour focus group to share experiences, opinions, and perspective on what it is like to care for someone in their home. 

The purpose of the focus group is to learn more about the needs of caregivers and their aging loved ones and explore the areas where there may be gaps in service. No preparation is necessary and light refreshments will be served. 
Two focus group sessions have been scheduled for Dec. 16 from 2-3 p.m. and from 6-7 p.m. at Wesley Village. To learn more or to RSVP, call 203-925-4953 or email Carlene Rhea, Director of Mission Development, at crhea@umh.org. 

United Methodist Homes/Wesley Village has been awarded a planning grant from the State of Connecticut to help with the State’s Strategic Rebalancing Plan (a plan aimed at balancing long term care systems and allowing more seniors to stay in their homes). 
Participation in one of the focus group sessions will assist us in submitting a formal business plan back to the State. 

Wesley Village is located at 580 Long Hill Ave. and is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes, a mission-based, not-for-profit organization serving all members of the community.
