SAN ANTONIO – Jeff Salter, CEO and founder of Caring Senior Service, may not be an avid cyclist but he’s ready to pedal his electric bike for 9,000 miles through 27 states.
“We’re going to focus on really seniors’ safety and focusing on fall prevention, and that’s why during my ride, I’ll be raising awareness for grab bars,” Salter said.
“We’re trying to raise money… so, we can put grab bars in homes (of seniors).”He plans to be on the road for about four months.
“(At each location I plan to) have meetings with city leaders, community activists, people involved in senior care,” Salter said.
Salter hopes to raise awareness on senior safety and raise a total of $100,000 for grab bars.
