Providing a Place Where Seniors Can Thrive
“Durante la pandemia fue de gran ayuda. No pude salir de mi casa por motivos de salud y estar con otras personas. Me siento feliz de levantarme en la mañana. A otras personas les diría que hay bastantes beneficios, muchas clases de ejercicios, aquellos que no pueden cocinar se pueden beneficiar de los alimentos. Aprendemos muchas cosas.”
“Being a member of Centro de Oro from Ibero has helped improve my health mentally as well as physically. I enjoy both the exercise lessons and the visitors who come to teach us in nutrition and many other topics. I also enjoy and treasure socializing with others since it has helped me cope with depression.”
“Me ha impactado el hecho de que es el único centro de habla hispana aquí en Rochester y su programa es muy eficiente. Únete de inmediato porque es muy bueno para socializar.”
“Le diría a otras personas que el Centro de Oro es un lugar muy acogedor, para compartir y recibimos con los brazos abiertos a las personas que puedan ingresar a nuestro grupo sin mirar cómo está su vida social ni espiritual, respetándonos unos a otros.”

- A new full time Coordinator and a part-time Kitchen Assistant were hired which have served to enrich our unique growing program needs in the Latino community.
- At least 20% of our active members at Centro de Oro live alone. It is proven that seniors eat healthier when they have companionship.
