    10 South County Times April 29 - May 5, 2011

    by Jaime MowersSenior citizens and their families

    are encouraged to attend the fourth

    annual Senior Sampler open house

    on Sunday, May 1.

    Sponsored by the Webster Groves

    Senior Roundtable, the event caters

    to seniors looking for socialization,

    those who need assistance in their

    homes or those looking to move into a

    senior living community. Seniors and

    their adult children will be able to

    learn about a variety of senior serviceproviders and tour several facilities.

    The Senior Sampler kicks off

    with a Senior Resource Fair from

    12 to 2 p.m. at the Webster Groves

    Recreation Complex at Glendale and

    South Elm avenues. Participants

    can get information about resources

    for seniors in the area, meet service

    providers and learn about home-

    delivered meals, home health care,

    social and recreational opportunities,

    transportation options and more.

    Refreshments will be served and

    prizes will be available.

    We call it our senior sample of

    home-sweet-home because its a

    sample of services you can accessfrom your home if youre no longer

    driving, said Gayle McHenry,

    executive director of the Shepherds

    Center of Webster-Kirkwood, Inc.

    There also will be information

    about opportunities for active seniors.

    A big part of staying healthy is

    staying active and being social, so

    thats part of what theyll be able

    to learn about, she said. Webster

    Groves is really rich in what they

    have for senior activities.

    People will then have an

    opportunity to visit seven senior living

    communities at their convenience

    from 1 to 4 p.m.

    Its a great opportunity for seniors

    and their adult children to come and

    see whats out there for when the

    time comes (when they may need

    services), McHenry said, assuring

    there will be no high-pressure sales

    pitches.
