To help those who are feeling isolated, Adult Protective Services has teamed up with San Antonio’s faith community and the nonprofit Senior Planet, on a committee known as Silver Sabbath, to teach seniors how to go online. "Adult Protective Services is excited to work together with the Silver Sabbath Committee in our efforts to build connections for older adults in the Bexar County area," said Ann Cortez, district director for APS. Rosalind Harris, founder and executive director of the Inspiration Center, said she hopes seniors and their caregivers can take part. "So they can literally watch the seminar together," Harris said, and share what they've learned with others.
