The city of Dublin and National Church Residences Avondale senior community have a collaboration that sets an example of how working in tandem creates positive change. The City provides free transportation for Avondale residents, giving them the ability to visit restaurants, the Dublin Recreation Center, pharmacies and more.
Care Coordinator Kim Yoder works to create these successful collaborations with the city. The open, communicative relationship with Dublin is one she hopes will be the norm for all communities.
“It’s my norm,” she says. “I network, network, network. The city of Dublin has been so accommodating and receptive to every request I’ve asked of them and have worked hard to the point where they have a committee in place to discuss and meet the needs of seniors.”
One of the biggest problems residents of senior communities face is loneliness. Time reports more than a third of senior citizens feel isolated and alone. For this reason, the city makes sure people living in Avondale are invited to social events, health and wellness activities, and trips around the walking trails.
Retirement campuses are changing and senior communities are becoming essential to cities, such as Dublin, and will continue to expand, grow, and become more popular as the population ages.
“It’s getting to know your city officials, building those partnerships and letting them know what is on your radar,” Yoder says. “We are very blessed to be in Dublin. They are a phenomenal community to work with.”
