The city of Lexington is working to improve the lives of the area's elderly and disabled. The director of Lexington’s Aging and Disability Services Division says from last June to the end of April 679 new seniors joined in city programming. Kristy Stambaugh offered an update to the city council’s General Government and Social Services Committee last week. Stambaugh said COVID has taught staff members communication technology assistance remains the biggest need.
“So, we have hired an independent contractor. He is there three days a week, doing tech assistance. Drop-in, so if you have a question about your smartphone or your smart tablet or your laptop, he’s there three days a week, to lend one on one kind of a system,” said Stambaugh.
