If you could design your own community center that you could go to every morning, what would it be like? Draw a floorplan for what your ideal center would look like. What kind of rooms and spaces would there be and for what kind of activities? Who is there with you? Draw the people you’d like to include. Why did you pick the people you did?
life goes on, be positive
The film did a good job of conveying the importance of connection as well as the treasure hidden in those that we routinely over look.
The senior center is a place that gives back. The elderly are honored as living beings and are not thought to be a burden to our society and are not like junk mail where it is just thrown away as garbage.
Live Life till the very end.
Senior Center can give meaning to life. Spending time with others.
A place to go to meet and share life with others, can bring meaning to the elderly.
Senior Center so important in the lives of the elderly. A sense of belonging, a place the elderly can meet others.
Live your best life. I often wonder who will be with me till the end, visitors, family, friends.
So sad that the pandemic has taken this away, help remember and interact with the seniors in your life!
Seniors are so lonely now with the virus. This is so important for their socialization. Keeps them going.
Sometimes we are so busy we forgot about the mental health need of the seniors, they are very lonely, they needs social life like everybody else
