Subject:Letter of Support for the proposed continuous care community, Villaggio, under
review by City Council
Please forward this letter to the City Council prior to September 10 as
input to their deliberations on September 15, 2020
To the Members of City Council,
I support the development of the proposed Continuous Care Community,
Villaggio, as well as the future development of a variety of facilities for
older adults who seek options for graduated services and care within a
'community'. I am seventy years old, and happily live of my own in a
house within our city. At the same time, my parents both passed within
the past four years at 95 and 99 years of age. In those last 6 years I was
forced to learn the complexities of independent living, management care,
and several additional categories of care facilities. It was a tough
transition when they moved from their condo to independent living. It
was again very difficult when they were forced to leave the independent
living only facility because my Mom needed regular nursing care. One of
the gifts we can provide to senior citizens who choose it is the option to
reside in a facility that has the flexibility to provide appropriate housing
and medical care without unnecessary disruption of the friendships that
have formed within a community. I know that someday this is an option
that I will seek. I hope that it is available here in San Luis Obispo.
Sincerely,
Dave Christy
