When the ad hoc Senior Advisory Committee surveyed older South Portland residents, results indicated that the internet was not the primary way of accessing information for many individuals. When the ad hoc Senior Steering Implementation Committee (now referred to as Age Friendly South Portland), was tasked by the city council with addressing the recommendations of the survey, a priority of the committee was improving communication with all elder residents.
In addition, expanding information shared through the printed word, a decision was made to work with South Portland Community TV (SPCTV) to provide information relevant to older adults via community television.
