Goin' Back to Houston, Houston, Houston

We're in Houston and had a full day yesterday, meeting with seniors at the Montrose Center for most of the day and catching up with friends and family in the evening.  Houston has an incredible resource in their Montrose Center.  Here is their web site:  http://www.montrosecounselingcenter.org/

We went to the SPRY (Seniors Preparing for Rainbow Years) Diner in the morning and stayed until 3:00, interviewing some of the wonderful staff members and seniors who attended the lunch event.   Thanks to SPRY participants Pat and M.A. who were so willing to take time for a longer interview and to all the other participants who talked openly about their concerns regarding senior housing.  

I interviewed Judy Woods, SPRY Outreach Worker at the Montrose Center and Ben Morgan who also works at Montrose Center and has been an important advocate for the program.  What wonderfully caring people! Thanks Judy and Ben, for taking time from your busy day to meet with me and talk about what the Montrose Center is doing to support seniors.  Check out this excellent video that describes the services they offer.  http://vimeo.com/3273424   This is a very special place!
