CARTER BURDEN LEHMAN VILLAGE OLDER ADULT PROGRAM
The Lehman Village Older Adult Program is a satellite of the Covello Program located in a NYC Housing Authority building. The program provides socialization, recreation and education through daily activities including art programs taught by the teaching artists and consultants from Covello and health and wellness activities. A daily luncheon program is served onsite and also delivered to the homebound.
Like the Covello program, anyone over the age of 60 can attend the Lehman Village Older Adult Center regardless where s/he lives, however the majority of the participants live in the Lehman Village Houses. The program averages 50 people per day, which is the maximum it can accommodate.
