You’ve never seen BINGO like this! Senior Focus: Senior Services Associates has partnered with the City of Aurora and Aurora Township to purchase a state-of-the-art bingo system. The large, easy-to-read board flashes numbers as they are called, and an air machine shuffles balls, just like in the Illinois Lottery. The new bingo system also includes 450 new easy-to-read customized cards. In addition to social activities like bingo and bean bag baseball, Senior Services Associates also offers: • Free service assessments, completed at the senior’s home, to help them find all the public benefits and community resources for which they are eligible. • Services for grandparents raising grandchildren, home-delivered meals, elder abuse intervention, and nursing home ombudsmen. • Volunteer opportunities, including the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, the Senior Companion program, and programs for the Spanish-speaking community. 4954_AuroraBorealis_Certa Pro Painters.pdf 1 27/02/14 To learn more about these and other services available for you or a senior you love, call Senior Service Associates Aurora office at 630-897-4035, or visit seniorservicesassoc.org. 10:38 AM BECAUSE PAINTING I
