Aging inWellWadsworth!

The Soprema Senior Center & Café is Wadsworth’s most popular gathering place for the rapidly growing senior population.  Located at 617 School Drive on Wadsworth’s vibrant, multi-generational Community Center campus, the Soprema Senior Center is widely known for offering innovative opportunities and traditional activities and services.  

As a department of the City of Wadsworth, the Center offers an “unmatched” level of service.  Membership to the Center is free to those aged 55+ living in Wadsworth and the surrounding communities. Perks of membership include a quarterly newsletter (mailed free to those living in Wadsworth City limits); free participation in dozens of weekly programs, events, and activities; access to the YMCA indoor walking track during designated times; and free, unlimited hot coffee or tea with any purchase in the Café when showing their member keytag.  

Known as a “Senior Center Without Walls,” they uniquely embrace technology by offering hybrid programming, allowing participants to attend in person or via Zoom. (This is the perfect option for busy seniors at home or while traveling!). In 2024, they had a Hearing Loop system installed in both the Café and Activity Room, greatly enhancing the listening experience for those with hearing aids. To learn more about all the Center offers, pick up the latest newsletter and calendar of events or visit their website at www.wadsworthcity.com/SopremaSeniorCenter. The Soprema Senior Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and offers something for everyone aged 55 or better!

The Soprema Café, operated by the Medina County Office for Older Adults, makes the Soprema Senior Center shine distinctly. Open to the public on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., the Café has become a dining hotspot enjoyed by all ages. Known for their homemade soups and home-style “hot lunch specials,” they also feature other delicious breakfast and lunch options, including burgers, salads, made-to-order sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and much more at great prices. Make plans to patronize this local gem soon – your taste buds & wallet will thank you!

The Soprema Senior Center is supported by the City of Wadsworth, the Wadsworth Older Adults Foundation, and many Professional Friends. They have a small staff of three and a mighty volunteer team of over 100 senior volunteers.  Donations are accepted from the community through the Wadsworth Older Adults Foundation (WOAF), which is their 501(c)(3). The WOAF’s generous support plays a huge role in the offerings that the Center can provide to seniors in many ways.
