Have You Seen the Cleveland Senior Citizen Center?
Posted by Dr. Uhrenholdt
When you hear the term “senior citizen” maybe you have a preconceived notion of just who that person might be. It means different things to different people, and the outdated notion of a very old person who just wants to stay home is no longer accurate. If you are over age 60, and live in Cleveland, TX then you meet the definition of the Cleveland Senior Citizen Center, for the types of folks they want to help stay healthy, social, and able to live in their own homes for as long as possible. And a bonus: volunteers are encouraged to participate at the center, at almost any age.
