PSS Andrew Jackson Center is one of the first Centers established by PSS, providing services to our Melrose Bronx community for over 20 years. Our Center members are some of the most long-standing participants in the PSS network. Recently we established the first PSS Center Gardening Club in our backyard, where members can enjoy the communal experience. We now offer our innovative Checkmate Dementia Chess Club to help keep our older adult minds active. Our members have opportunities to engage in volunteer activities and continue to age well with the support of our Center staff.
For more information you can contact us at (718) 585-1640.
After I retired, I started coming to the PSS Andrew Jackson Center. Activities like bingo and dancing and the day trips get me out of the house.
I come here to socialize with people and to go on trips like Walmart and City Island. The Center keeps me from being alone.
