STAYING LONGER IN YOUR HOME:
SARPRA
is the state-wide organisation that has looked after the interests of residential park (RP) residents since 2007.
SARPRA
’s guiding Committee is looking into how owner/residents might stay longer and happily in well-designed homes to meet seniors’ needs.
How?
Well, a big part of the answer lies in the fittings and design of your home.
SARPRA
’s management Committee has therefore designed this questionnaire to get some basic information to help its lobbying efforts toward the best possible homes for RP residents in the future.
We, the
SARPRA
Executive, ask you to complete the questions and add your comments (there are no wrong answers).
Thank you for participating with this important project, you do not need to be a SARPRA member to complete the survey, all information gathered will be treated with the utmost confidence.
