Back to top of page Information service has answers for seniors A new service from the Penn State Gerontology Center in the College of Health and Human Development offers information of special interest to Central Pennsylvania's senior citizens and others interested in issues related to aging. The new telephone service provides information on practical topics as diverse as reverse mortgages and sleep disorders among the elderly and can put seniors in touch with local support groups. At other times, callers can leave a voice mail message and volunteers will gather information and respond. The outreach center volunteers have developed a database on aging information to support the hotline. The hotline also provides information about Penn State events and activities for senior citizens.
All calls are confidential.
The program recently coordinated the publication of A Senior Citizen's Guide to Campus Life, designed to promote accessibility to campus life for seniors. The guide contains information about parking, transportation and special assistance on the University Park campus, as well as education, cultural and recreational activities. To receive a copy of the guide, call the hotline number. GREQ orders must be received by the MOC by noon Friday, June 27, to ensure delivery and billing of in-stock items. There are no exceptions.
