Senior Housing Issues Topic Of West Hartford Forum

Town of West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The town's organization overseeing senior citizen issues in tow is hosting a special forum next week on housing issues for the elderly.

The program is being hosted by the West Hartford Senior Citizens Advisory Commission at the Bishops Corner Senior Center, 15 Starkel Road, West Hartford, on Tuesday, June 25, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Three experts will comprise the roundtable discussion:

• West Hartford attorney Rebecca Hajosy will discuss elder legal issues.

• Luan Ceka, of the West Hartford Housing Rehabilitation Program, will discuss home modifications and costs for seniors.

• Gary Sekorski, co-founder of For All Ages and part of the CT Collaborative to End Loneliness, will discuss the importance of seniors fostering social connections.

Event organizers said the turnout for a senior housing forum in April, called "Should I Stay or Should I Go," was high, prompting a second forum, this one entitled "Housing Issues as We Age."

The free event will feature interactive small-group discussions on the three topics. Light refreshments will be served.
