Disabilities To Abilities - February 2007

"What to do when you can take care of herself, but you are bored.”

There are Senior Centers and some of them with transportation and meals— for people at all levels of ability. For people who are in good physical health but isolated, there are recreational programs that can reengage them in their community. Many centers offer bus trips, outings, etc.—things that a person might not want to do alone anymore, but can participate in a group with more enjoyment. Many centers are associated with agencies that offer multiple services and can help older persons with many issues, such as housing problems, entitlements, safety, and shopping assistance, or they will make referrals to helpful neighborhood agencies.
Encourage isolated seniors to try a center out for a day or two as a way to find the one that’s right for them. Let them have FUN!
• Look in your telephone book Yellow Pages under “Senior Citizen Service Organizations.”
• Ask friends, neighbors, or religious leaders if they know a center near you.
• Online directory, Click on “Finding Help,” and you can search for senior centers and many other services.
