There are many activities for our residents that are provided by various organizations in Old Tappan.  However, we recognize that not everyone is physically, mentally, or emotionally able to take advantage of all that is offered.  We would like to do more for those with special needs, and below is a start in that direction.  We urge you to take advantage of these opportunities, and ask that everyone take a moment to think of any other local organizations that provide services for those who have particular difficulties.  Please call Gloria Wiesner at 201 664-1849 ext. 223 with any suggestions to help people of all ages.  Thank you.
