East Lansing Senior Commission Wants to Hear from 55+ Community

The East Lansing Seniors Commission is seeking input from community members who are 55 years or older via a survey that launched on Sept. 1. The survey will close on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

The purpose of the survey is to discover what East Lansing needs to do to make it a great place for seniors to live, work and visit. Its questions were written specifically to understand the senior perspective. The survey was designed in partnership with the Age Friendly Communities Committee, the Seniors Prime Time program and other local organizations. East Lansing officials will review the confidential results of the survey to better understand and meet the needs of seniors in the community.

“Make your voice heard! We look forward to receiving this feedback from area seniors,” said Seniors Prime Time Director Alesha Williams. “These answers are what we need to help make this a great community for seniors. Thank you to everyone who has already taken the survey!”

The survey can be completed online in about 15 minutes at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/elseniorsurvey. Those who complete the survey can choose to be entered into a drawing to receive one of four $75 East Lansing Downtown eGift Cards.

Community members who require assistance with the survey should contact Prime Time at (517) 337-1113 or elprimetime@cityofeastlansing.com. Paper copies of the survey are available upon request by contacting Prime Time.
