Queens’ Silver Lining
Senior Centers
THE SILVER SNEAKERS PROGRAM IS RUN AT SENIOR CENTERS THROUGHOUT QUEENS. Tribune Photo By Ira Cohen |
Life really can start at 60.
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.
