Question:
Our unique community is wanting to do the planning, assessment, and evaluation to promote the continuation of our healthy, member-owned cooperative. I found you a year ago when I was proposing such. I am excited to talk with and perhaps participate with someone interested in a research project because I do not find good research on the evaluation of active 55+ independent communities. There are many details we can discuss if the interested person contacts me.
Answer:
Thank you for writing to us. We appreciate the importance and value of independent 55+ communities, as well as the need to evaluate them. But we do not consider ourselves to have expertise in this area.
We would recommend contacting people or organizations that do have such expertise, conceivably starting with large and broad organizations such as AARP. We will also keep an eye out for any relevant resources that might come our way, and will aim to share them with you.
Best wishes as you continue your inquiries; we hope you find what you are looking for.
