Senior Activity Centers

View our Senior Activity Center Map >

Senior Activity Center Programs offer senior adults an opportunity to socialize with other seniors, health and wellness programs/facilities, educational and enrichment opportunities, nutritious noontime meals, and home delivered meals to homebound frail seniors. Transportation to and from the center as well as shopping, medical appointments and recreational trips are available.

Senior Centers are a great place for seniors to meet new friends, renew old acquaintances, have a hot nutritious lunch, or join in exercise, computer, and other classes. Enjoy dancing, pool, bingo, quilting, card games, or a quiet afternoon putting a puzzle together.

The centers also provide:

• Regularly scheduled transportation for
  seniors who no longer drive
• Home-delivered meals for the frail elderly
