The recent feature story “ ‘Not your grandmother’s center’: Seniors centers evolve with Pilates, pickleball and pub burgers” (July 23, TribLIVE) and editorial “Senior centers could be model for providing human services” (July 25, TribLIVE) noted the value of senior centers. But it also brought to mind the dichotomy of the location of Greensburg’s McKenna Center, at a distance only drivable from senior apartments at Penn Towers, Troutmans and Pershing Square. While it is walkable from the Redstone Highlands campus, Redstone offers its resident a plethora of activities and services.
If memory serves, the McKenna Center was established many years ago, before Redstone built its current facilities. Moving the center to a walkable location for those living in senior apartments in central Greensburg would make it far more accessible to those it was established to serve.
