Program offers way for seniors to aid others
McHENRY – Twice a week, Josie O’Hara goes to Heritage Woods in McHenry and directs fellow seniors to stretch their arms over their heads. They flex their ankles and wrists as part of the Sit and Stretch activity.
The group of five to 10 people will pretend to play piano by moving their fingers over an imaginary set of keys.
“It’s really a lot of fun to get them to do different things ... keeping their brains going and keeping them active,” O’Hara said.
