This week, I had the opportunity to sit down with two longtime Coral Springs residents, Joy Wool and Christiane DeNoble. We had an important conversation about what our city can and should be doing to better support our growing senior population—especially when it comes to the future of the Senior Center at Sartory Hall.
Joy and Christiane have spent years advocating for stronger senior programming, more accessible activities, and a real investment in services that help residents age comfortably and stay connected to the community they love. Their experiences reflect what I am hearing from seniors across Coral Springs: the needs are growing, and our city must be ready to meet them.
Nearly a quarter of Coral Springs residents are now over the age of 60, and that share continues to rise. Seniors want to stay here, remain close to family and friends, and continue contributing to the community they helped build. But without expanded services, updated facilities, and a long-term plan for senior support, staying in Coral Springs becomes harder every year.
That is why these conversations matter so much
I look forward to continuing to meet with seniors throughout our city to hear directly about what is working, what’s missing, and what ideas we should be championing at City Hall. Their insight is invaluable—and long overdue in shaping the future of senior services in Coral Springs.Our longtime residents have made this city what it is. Now it’s our responsibility to give back by strengthening programming, expanding access to services, and exploring what it would take to finally establish a dedicated, full-service senior center right here at home.Thank you again to Joy and Christiane for sharing their time, their experiences, and their vision for a more supportive Coral Springs.
