About Star Senior Center
The mission of Washington Heights Community Services, Inc. (WHCS) is to promote successful aging and meet the needs of the well and frail elderly with concrete services. STAR is committed to generating social capital by enriching our members’ lives, maximizing their independence, and strengthening supportive linkages among seniors. Often a newcomer to STAR spots a center member who lives downstairs from her but to whom she has never spoken. During the course of the next week the neighbors form lasting bonds while sharing nutritious meals, participating in the same English class, having their blood pressure read, going on shopping trips, or traveling to City Hall to advocate for legislation to benefit seniors.
