C ommunity n ews New Senior Services Office In Whiting Proves Popular

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER

– The newly opened Senior Services office based in the Whiting section of the township has already seen a lot of visitors, according to Judy Noonan, confidential aide to Township Mayor Robert Arace.

The office opened earlier this summer. Noonan is there on Tuesdays from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Her number is 732-657-8121 Ext.4930. The office, located at 82 Lacey Road, is a place where seniors can get information about various services and to ask questions if they have a problem.

During the office’s June 30 grand opening/ ribbon cutting ceremony, Mayor Arace noted that “trekking across to the east side of town can be difficult for seniors. This will make it easier for them. Sometimes there is 25-to-30-minute traffic.”

The township has another senior services office next to Town Hall at 1 Colonial Drive.

Senior Services are provided to residents who are 60 years of age or older. Those services include transportation for those who are ambulatory/semi-ambulatory/ wheelchair-bound. Priority is given to persons who are unable to drive. This service is available on a fi rst-come, fi rstserved basis.

To schedule an appointment call Manchester Senior Outreach at 732-849-8305. Non-medical transportation is also available on a limited basis to eligible senior residents who, because of health problems, cannot provide their own transportation to needed destinations.

These may include banks, legal services, food shopping, clothes shopping, hair salon/ barber shops, post office, visiting loved ones in care facilities or other necessary destinations. For non-medical transportation call Manchester Senior Outreach at the same number, 732-849-8305.

The Manchester Township Senior Advisory Council has five members who are appointed by the mayor, who serves as a sixth member.

According to the Township’s website, the function of the Council is to be responsible for advising the governing body as to all matters which may affect the senior residents of Manchester.

The Council is also responsible for the coordination of programs and activities which are specifically directed to the needs of senior residents. It also serves to propose legislation, or other measures or programs to the governing body that contributes to the quality of life of the community’s senior residents.
