Senior Living Fair to offer resources to seniors, families

April 05--The Salvation Army's seventh annual Senior Living Fair will be from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. April 27 at the Warr Acres Senior Center, 4301 N Ann Arbor.

This year, the Senior Living Fair's focus will be to provide a variety of resources from across the community, ranging from affordable housing to getting finances in order for seniors and their families.

"This year's event promises to offer a wealth of information," said Lisa Sydnor, senior programs manager at The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma. "Many seniors and their families may be facing life-changing decisions and do not know who or where to turn for help. Our goal is for them to leave with their questions answered and to know there is a network of agencies ready to step in and help."

The Senior Living Fair is free to the public -- thanks to sponsors like Oklahoma Senior Journal, Senior News and Living, and United Health Care -- and includes exhibits with information about health and wellness, housing, Medicare, insurance, aging-in-place and end-of-life decisions.

Exhibitors this year will include Neighborhood Services Organization, Sunbeam Family Services, Around the Clock Home Care, Village at Oakwood Assisted Living, Concordia Life Care Community, Grace Living Centers, Metropolitan Library System and many more.

The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma operates four senior centers throughout the Oklahoma City metro. The centers are open weekdays to seniors ages 55 and older. Seniors have the opportunity to socialize, enjoy lunch and participate in numerous activities that include Bible study, exercise classes, crafts, dancing and more.
