Golden Opportunity Offered To Seniors
BY BRENDA THOMPSON ~
Staff Writer
Growing older doesn't have to
mean losing one's independence.
It doesn’t have to mean being
lost in the crowd or getting wrapped
up in the red tape and complexities
of the Medicare system.
It doesn’t have to mean an end to
learning or anything else as far as
that goes.
It doesn't have to mean any of
those things, according to Glennda
Gandy, coordinator of a senior ser
vices community outreach program
for the Medical Center of Central
Georgia in Macon and guest speaker
at last week’s meeting of the Perry
Exchange Club.
“There are so many services
available to senior citizens in our
state. Unfortunately, as is the case
so many times, they just don’t
know about them or they get frus
trated trying to find them-getting
shifted from office to office until
they finally just give up,” Gandy
told local Exchange Qub members.
“What we do is answer the ques
tions we can answer and find the
answers to those we can’t-whatever
it takes to get these folks the help
they so desperately need.”
Better known to many as
“Golden Opportunities-Seniors
Helping Seniors”, Gandy says
MCCG’s outreach program is a
non-profit service which is avail
able to all senior citizens living in
Houston, Bibb and 37 other Central
Georgia counties considered to be
within the hospital’s primary ser
vice area.
Since its creation several years
ago, the primary purpose of Golden
Opportunities has been to assist
older citizens in achieving a better
quality of life. It reaches this goal
by combining the expertise and ex
perience of professional staff and
senior volunteers. A council of se
niors over age 65 help coordinate,
tailor and conduct many of the
program’s services.
Among the services offered by
Golden Opportunities is an infor-
