Young At Heart Gate Watchers 

For a moment close your eyes and imagine everything

and everybody you loved gone.

Now imagine if you were a senior and had nobody to

turn to if you needed assistance.

Simple things become huge challenges to a

senior who needs some form of assistance.

This feeling of isolation can be very scary if you

dont know where to turn to for help.

The gatewatchers program of Sweetwater County

is a community endeavor to locate and indentify

at risk seniors who may be in of some assistance

 in order to maintain his or her independence.

This program enables seniors to continue to

make their own choices while remaining in their homes.

 

The Gate Watchers program is designed to

be completely confidential.

People do not always ask for help.

All seniors and disabled adults need to know we are

here to help in any way we can.

Nobody should ever feel isolated or alone.

Please think of Young At Heart if you need to reach a friend.

How to make a referal,

The senior center is a neutral agency.

They have information about a variety of

different programs available from many

agencies in our community.

Of the approximate 2,500 people over the

age of 60 in our community ,

The senior center serves approximately 2,200.

We can easily call or go visit any one of these seniors.

Seniors do not always ask for help.

Once help is needed, they have to go

" searching "

for what help is available and from where!

This is why they should think of

Young-At-Heart Senior Citizens Center first.
