Third Age is a not-for-profit community service. Third Age is located in Sibley Hall, Room 417, on the campus of SUNY Plattsburgh. The program has been serving senior adults and their families since 1990. Who Should Attend Third Age?Adults who are experiencing a decrease in physical, mental, or social functioning are eligible for the Third Age Adult Day Center. They may be frail or have Alzheimer's Disease or related dementia, which may include behavioral problems such as wandering and difficulty communicating, developmental disabilities, or emotional problems. Third Age is particularly appropriate for those families who want their loved one to remain at home as long as possible, but are in need of assistance for their care.
