Residents give suggestions, voice concerns at assisted-living forum

Residents like Susan Sanderson surrounded tables with a few stacked white poster boards and sticky notes to give suggestions about the department’s soon-to-be Ohio Assisted Living Navigator, similar to the Ohio Nursing Home Quality Navigator, at a state-hosted public forum at the Wood County Senior Center on Tuesday.

She sat next to a stack of red sticky notes and discussed ideas with other participants about features that should be included in the new navigator, sticking those suggestions on the board.
