n January, Baker Senior Center Naples celebrated the first anniversary of being in its new permanent home on Autumn Oaks Lane. It has been quite a year! As we reported at our very successful gala on Jan. 13, our program statistics have certainly spoken to the need: • 13,516 hot lunches were served during our weekly “Lunch and More” program. • 4,574 Information and Referral calls were handled by our Geriatric Case Managers. • 1,900 new members signed up in the last year. • 1,839 activity programs were offered to 2,300 individual members. • 1,300 bags of food for seniors struggling with food insecurity were provided through visits to our “choice” food pantry. • 228 individuals received Geriatric Case Management services.
• 130 clients have participated in our dementia respite programs. • 123 clients have received counseling through our mental health program. • 73 seniors participated in special holiday programs for Passover, Easter, Rosh Hashanah, Thanksgiving, Hanukah and Christmas. • 35 new clients have attended “Brain Joggers,” our group for early memory loss. • 25 caregivers participate regularly at our weekly Caregiver Support Groups. New members join every day. If you have not visited us, please schedule a tour and see what we are all about! Twenty-two Holocaust survivors and their families attended Café Europa at the end of December. The program was a traditional Hanukah lunch with lots of time for friendly and spirited conversation. As one attendee noted, “My mother and I enjoyed Café Europa very much. It met all of our expectations and more! This opportunity was very important for us to spend time with other survivors, especially during these difficult times.” Baker Senior Center Naples looks forward to offering more Café Europa programs in the year ahead. Happy February!
