Chicago, IL (May 18, 2018). Indo-American Center has been a popular destination for seniors in West Ridge and nearby neighborhoods and suburbs since its inception in 1990. Conceptualized by generous individuals of the Chicago Indian Diaspora, the “Milan” program for seniors has been successfully bringing seniors together, with the goal of helping South Asian immigrant seniors fully adjust to their new community in Chicago and lead more independent lives.
“Milan,” which translates as “coming together,” is now in its 28th year and welcomes all seniors, 60 and above, and their spouses, to participate in daily enrichment activities – movies, games, open mic, yoga, and exercise – while having access to health education, computers, a library, and benefits assistance. Financial literacy; field trips; and educational, cultural, and health workshops are offered on a regular basis throughout the year.
Indo-American Center is also proud to have been a Golden Diners site for the City of Chicago for nearly a decade, having served 116,928 freshly prepared meals to date! The meals are prepared by an experienced staff, use locally sourced ingredients, and are nutritionist- as well as senior-approved. For more information or to have a taste yourself, stop by from Mon-Fri from 11:30 am – 2:00 pm at 6328 N. California Ave. in Chicago.
