Dear Monongalia County Residents (Age 55 or Better): A New Years
Greeting Happy New Year! I want to take this opportunity to wish you and
your family a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. Looking back, 2007 was an exciting year! Just to boast a bit … we
launched many new Community Care programs and services, organized our first Wii
Video Bowling League, served 30,000 nutritious meals throughout Monongalia
County, checked 2,300 blood pressures in our weekly vital signs clinics,
produced our first senior Talent Show, and our very own Biggest Losers Club lost
over 100 lbs! Be sure to look for our weekly REFLECTIONS Newsletter (located in
the middle of the Sunday Dominion Post
TV Guide) for announcements such as a major expansion project here at our
Mountaineer Mall site, and additional Nutrition Sites that will open in 2008! Or
visit www.seniormons.org now for
the programs, activities, and services offered to you -courtesy of the Older
Americans Act - at our fantastic, multipurpose senior wellness center.
By
2010, the baby-boom generation will constitute more than two-thirds of the
50-plus population. Senior Monongalians, Inc., like all others in the service
delivery business, will have to adjust their enterprises with new and improved
methods and systems for addressing the needs of baby boomers.
We are well on our way! As always, it is our pleasure to serve Sincerely, Sharon L. Semans Executive Director sharonlsemans@seniormons.org |
Multipurpose Senior Centers Bridging the Gap Emerging Roles of Multipurpose Senior Centers Older Adults, Transportation and Longevity America, A Community for All Ages Multipurpose Senior Centers, Bridging the Gap Multipurpose Senior Centers (MSCs) as defined in the Older Americans Act,
are playing a new role in helping older Americans and their families as they
move through the new millennium. Millions of older adults and their families
are struggling to bridge the gaps between work and retirement, full independence
and limited support, and good health and chronic conditions. Emerging Roles of Multipurpose Senior Centers By 2010, the baby-boom generation will constitute more than two-thirds of the 50-plus population. Senior Monongalians, Inc., like all others in the service delivery business, will have to adjust their enterprises with new and improved methods and systems for addressing the needs of baby boomers. MSCs (Multipurpose Senior Center's) will help lead the way in adapting and refining, for use by tomorrow's older generation, the kinds of interactive information systems and technology-based activities that boomers now use to gain time, pursue comfort and achieve access. Thus, MSCs will be called upon to offer new ways to improve health status, reduce health disparities, increase economic security, decrease care giver stress, and increase the independence of older persons. Older Adults, Transportation & Longevity As people live longer, the issue of mobility becomes critical. Since 1900, the percentage of Americans age 65+ has more than tripled and the number of older adults has increased eleven times. By 2030, there will be approximately 70 million older persons, more than twice their number in 1997. America, A Community for All Ages Older Americans provide us with love and guidance, and they set the standards by which our families and our children's families live their lives as responsible citizens of our great nation. In essence, older Americans are the heartbeat of our communities, and they give energy and motivation to move forward and contribute to our nation's strength, success and prosperity.
