Ms. Barbara Rogers and Ms. Chris Kennedy spoke at the Cupertino City Council Meeting
This year, the former and first woman mayor of Cupertino, Barbara Rogers, is co-chairing the 6th Annual Silicon Valley Positive Aging Forum on Sep. 30, 2014 in Cupertino, which focuses on allowing the elderly comfort and security in their own homes and their own community. Cupertino is a close-knit community, but Mrs. Rogers noticed that when the elderly begin having trouble moving around in their houses as they age, there were few programs and services to help them to adapt their surroundings, and many elderly residents had no choice but to move to nursing homes.
