Flyer Guidelines

You are to create a 1-page informational flyer that can be displayed or handed out as a resource for older adults in your community, particularly those that may live in under-resourced or under-served areas . You should limit your survey to the community in which YOU live —and that could be a small town, your county, or a specific community within a town or county (Example: “Steel Creek” area of Charlotte), etc.

Your flyer should focus on   ONE  of the following areas listed below.

· Healthcare services, obtaining prescription drugs, medical rehabilitation

· Transportation services, shopping/errands

· Groceries/nutrition/food security

· Companion care, adult daycare

· Housing/Assisted living and/or nursing home facilities/ memory care

· Recreation/social activities/Educational activities for the elderly

· Spiritual/faith communities & services geared toward the elderly community

· Flyer is to be creative, colorful, and eye catching.

· Rubric for grading is included in canvas.

The flyer should include the following:

1. Create a slogan for your informational campaign. Ex. “Step Up for Seniors in Steele Creek – Companion Care Resources” (preferably, something a lot more creative than that!)

2. What is the exact location (street address) & contact information of the services/facility?

3. What populations are served?

4. Specifically, what services are available to the seniors?

5. Is there a cost associated with the service(s)? If so, what type of payment is accepted?

8. Is the service associated with any governmental agency or program? If so, identify the agency.
