There are, indeed, many services and activities for Slidell area seniors. The Council on Aging opened a new Senior Center at 610 Cousin Street that is larger and offers more services than the previous center. Many community groups have been assisting the Council in their work on the new Center. The center is open five day a week and offers meals, transportation, income tax assistance, legal counseling, and recreation. Condominiums and rental units are also abundant, many located on the dozens of bayous and canals crisscrossing the area.
