Queens'
Silver Lining
Senior Centers
Life
really can start at 60.
 |
| The
Silver Sneakers Program Is Run At Senior Centers
Throughout Queens. |
With over 70 senior centers located in Queens,
it's easier than ever for one's golden years to
be full of exciting activities, from biking and
jogging to playing the slots in Atlantic City.
Just under one third of city residents over 60
reside in Queens, and the majority of those are
not bound with mobility or self-care limitations,
according to the 2000 census. Moreover, several
studies also show that seniors today are more
healthy and active than in the past - many are
playing tennis and pool instead of just pinochle
and cribbage.
And for seniors who need a little bit of help,
centers provide a wide variety of services, such
as arranging transportation and meals for homebound
residents. Some even offer assistance with legal
issues and taxes.
More information can be found at the City's Department
of Aging Web site, www.nyc.gov, or from their
referral office, reached at (212) 442-1000. The
Public Advocate's office also has a comprehensive
listing of resources at www.pubadvocate.com.
