Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton Harris, and Racial and Health Equity Coordinator Shenell Ford had a great time on Friday along with the Department of Elder Affairs Director Roy Goodman and team as they hosted a Senior Center Open House event to share all the wonderful benefits that come with a membership at the Springfield Senior Centers!
Mayor Sarno visited the Raymond Jordan Senior Center located at 1476 Roosevelt Avenue on Friday. There are 3 additional neighborhood senior centers in the city: North End Senior Center at 310 Plainfield Street, Hungry Hill Senior Center at 773 Liberty Street, and the Clodo Concepcion Community Senior Center at Greenleaf at 1187½ Parker Street.
On Friday, the entire Springfield community was invited to come on down and learn about the ‘Harvest of Activities’ available at our Senior Centers! From exercise, dance, and Tai Chi demonstrations to visiting the computer lab and connecting with our friendly and dedicated Elder Affairs staff, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy! Don’t worry, if you missed Friday’s open House event – you can stop into our Senior Centers during their regular hours, or give them a call!

Mayor Domenic J. Sarno states, “I want to thank Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris, Elder Affairs Director Roy Goodman, and the entire dedicated staff at our Department of Elder Affairs for hosting this informational and welcoming Open House session. There is a lot going on at each of our Senior Centers and we want our seniors to be involved and feel connected. We all benefit when our seniors have trusted resources are involved in our community. I had a wonderful time Friday visiting with seniors, meeting new staff members, and seeing old friends too. I always look forward to visiting with them, and got to see some of the new activities available at the Senior Center including the golf simulator which I tried out too. From meals, technology, recreation, to good company there’s many great benefits to being a member at our Senior Centers and I encourage all our elder residents and their families to come explore!”
