Mayor Byron W. Brown has ensured that Buffalo’s older adults are well represented in City government through employees, meetings with clergy and block club members, and community organization leadership. The services provided by Senior Services and community centers include: health and wellness programs, arts and music programs, intergenerational programming, employment referral assistance, social networking opportunities, volunteer opportunities, transportation services, senior rights counseling and legal referrals, nutritional programs and meals, dinner and dining groups, and leisure travel programs. Additionally the office helps facilitate single topic seminars and classes. The topics of these classes include: foot care, daily exercise tips, technology confidence and cell phone use workshops, the importance of telephone trees, and low vision and diabetes seminars. The Office also sponsors several special events throughout the year. These include: the senior picnic, annual health fair, senior ball and the senior masquerade. Buffalo’s older population is actively involved in the planning and development of many of the City’s quality of life activities. Although Buffalo is already age friendly, the Administration continues to make efforts to improve the safety, affordability and comfort of older adults. Additionally, the Division of Senior Services provides more access to courses promoting health and wellness, employment support, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. The City’s senior programs and services are a collaborative effort, coordinated through the Division of Senior Services and a network of community centers. Each community center has a Senior Advisory Planning Board. There is also a Senior Advisory Board the works directly with the Division of Senior Services and assists in the coordination of Citywide efforts.
