already being at the site.

“We’re looking before the year’s

out to have a central location where

all the senior services and more

senior programs and activities will

all be available here,” Auton said.

“And to help us determine what

programs and activities seniors want

here, we created a two-page tool at

this workshop to get input, so that

local seniors have the opportunity

to tell us what is important to them

as far as activities – whether it be

physical activities, more fitness

types of things, art, social activities

and exercises – because at the end of

the day, our group and other organi-

zations can take that information and

build programs of what they want

instead of necessarily what we think

they want.”

Auton said that after results from

the surveys are compiled, decisions

for the betterment of local seniors

will be made.

“We’re going to compile these

results and take it from there,” Auton

said. “For example, if like 80 percent

of the folks on their surveys say they

want this or the want that, we’ll then

work with all the partners and ser-

vices to build the programs people

want.”

The timeframe for the changes and

additions to senior activities and pro-

grams at the Kool Center is “soon,”

said Auton.

“Our hope is that we can take the

results and start doing programming

by later this year,” he said.

Auton also noted the importance

for the Battle Creek community to

have a central site for senior servic-

es, programs and activities.

“There’s lots of research that

demonstrates the value of senior

center types of services as it relates

to social isolation and many other

senior-aged problems and things,” he

said. “So, this survey will hopefully

help seniors live better lives in the

area soon, in a variety of ways.”

Note: The Kool Family Community

Center as it is now known is located

at the corner of North Washington

Street and West Michigan Avenue in

the downtown area of Battle Creek.
