Caring Together Lompoc Makes Final Push for Community Feedback

Last day to participate in survey is September 28

LOMPOC — Now entering the home stretch of their campaign to generate community feedback about the perception of caregiving, Caring Together Lompoc is asking for those who live or work in the Lompoc Valley area to complete the short survey by Thursday, September 28. Stemming from their 2015 Lompoc Caregiver Needs Assessment Survey, the primary mission of Caring Together Lompoc is to help family caregivers self-identify, and to raise awareness of the caregiver resources available in Lompoc. By completing this survey, the Lompoc Valley community has the opportunity to provide valuable feedback about their progress, and impact the future of caregiver support in the Lompoc area.

To help sweeten the pot, Caring Together Lompoc is giving away $15 Starbucks gift cards to 10 randomly-selected survey respondents. To enter for your chance to win, you must take the survey online by September 28 (available in English or Spanish), and enter your contact information when prompted. Winners will be contacted via email during the first week of October.

“We are grateful to everyone who has taken the survey so far,” said Ashley Costa, Executive Director, Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization. “This survey only takes a few minutes to complete, and truly does help shape how we continue to create and improve resources for family caregivers in the Lompoc Valley community. We strongly encourage everyone who has not yet taken the survey to do so by September 28 and make your voice heard.”

The Lompoc Valley Family Caregiver Community Perception Survey is quick, confidential, and available in English and Spanish.
