They also patined some for their outdoor benches and planted some greenery. “Albuquerque and Bernalillo County have very large senior populations, populations over 55. These centers prevent them from becoming isolated. They offer them transportation to field trips, and provides them socialization,” Sonyia Hartwell, Vice President, RSVP Advisory Counsel.
