BACKGROUND:
Senior and Disability Services is responsible for identifying gaps in services/resources for our seniors and individuals living with disabilities, then producing innovative ways to provide supplementary solutions to enhance their life and legacy as residents in the City of Aurora. During the 12 stop Senior Listening tour, lawn mowing support was identified as a significant need amongst this population, and this is our response to this identified need. Last year we piloted this program serving 50 residents and this year we are scaling the program to serve 75 identified residences.
