Our Mission:
To Find Solutions on Aging in Oracle

  This small group of concerned residents in Oracle have come together to discuss and gather information about the elderly in Oracle. This group was formed because many of us over the years, have seen our friends and neighbors age or become ill and be forced into a position of having to leave their homes and community. It has become a heartbreaking fact because there are no assisted living homes or programs in Oracle. These are the issues this group intends to focus on, and hopefully help bring much needed services to Oracle.

  We have developed a simple survey to assess the needs of the elderly population and we need help in getting these surveys out to those who may need assistance.

If you would like more information about this group, or would like to help us get the survey out to people please contact any of us below:

Aging people in Oracle have been suggesting a local resource for us geezers for several decades now. Things as simple as ride sharing have been trotted out, though there always seems to be a law prohibiting them or making them too difficult to realize. I’m not hopeful that there is much of an alternative to just watching things disappear as we enter our so-called golden years.

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
