Is this program a duplication of services already available in Coral Gables?
CoralGables@HOME was designed to complement not duplicate the excellent services already provided by the City's
Senior Services (and other agencies). While the City's services are more activities-based
(and CoralGables@HOME does offer activities), we are concerned with helping you remain in your own home and offer the means and assistance to do those things you need help
to accomplish. According to a January 2009 AARP
article, 89% of people over 50 want to stay in their own homes and there is a growing movement to provide services to help them do just that. Recognized as a
grass-roots movement by this 2008 Washington Post article,
"Villages" began springing up across the country offering Baby Boomers the services they needed to remain at home, and Coral Gables is no exception, where approximately 25% of the population is over 60, and the City was voted one of the top 5 cities nationwide to retire in.
