Mission Statement We are dedicated to the enrichment of the lives of older adults and their families by providing diverse programs, social services and volunteer opportunities.
It’s National Family Caregiver Month We, at the Senior Center respect the important work family caregivers provide to their loved ones. Caregiving can be a strenuous and lonely journey, but it doesn’t need to be. There are many programs and services (i.e. respite, food, legal, financial, medical, transportation) to reduce one’s load. Give us a call if you, or the person you care for, is 55 years or older. Our staff will be happy to help you plan and problem-solve ways to help improve your situation. Remember: To be most effective, caregivers should know and honor their limits. The best gift a care recipient can give their care recipient is their own good health.
Sunday November 5
