Age In Place Questionnaire
Recently a small group of older Eaton residents gathered to explore issues that they could face if they continued to live at home as they age. They have been looking at barriers; such as transportation, medical and non- medical personal services, property management services and house remodeling needs.
As they explore ways to work around the constraints they decided to get a better understanding of the needs of other Eaton residents and learn more about public and private resources that could help address those needs. They felt the first step would be to create a needs questionnaire to the broader Eaton community.
They would really appreciate your input and ideas.

911-CARES Program
The Citizen Assistance Registry for Emergency Services program allows individuals to register medical conditions along with other important information that can impact the 911 call under their phone number. When 911 receives a phone call from a registered telephone number of a C.A.R.E.S. Individual, the medical condition(s), home address, and other information submitted by the account holder is displayed on the 911 telecommunicator’s computer screen and can be shared with first responders so they can have a better understanding of the emergency before they even arrive on scene.

LAND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
In addition to Town of Eaton permits, your project may require one or more permits from the NH Department of Environmental Services (Example: Wetlands Bureau, Shoreland, Wastewater). For projects that do not require a permit, there may be guidelines that you must follow during construction and/or land alteration. It is the responsibility of the property owner and contractor to understand all local, state and federal laws for any given project. This Got Permits? chart is intended to include the most common project types.
