As a part of the Union Settlement Association, Corsi Senior Center resolves to provide a space and services that will enrich the quality of life of the senior population in East Harlem. We believe that nutritious meals, physical activity and educational and recreational programs are essential in building a fulfilling life for seniors. We believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity, regardless of what stage in their life they are at.

Description:
We seek to meet the needs of our seniors through a wide range of activities, from congregate meals to recreational trips, from bingo tournaments to arts and crafts. Our goal is to reduce feelings of isolation and encourage independent living. We promote self-reliance and independent living through group meals, nutrition education, telephone reassurance, excursions, education, recreation and friendly visits.
