Senior Services

For over 50 years, Senior Services has helped community seniors maintain physical, emotional, and social wellness, thus promoting senior independence. This is achieved through a comprehensive program which combines therapeutic recreation, socialization, physical and mental stimulation, and health education to reinforce dignity and self-worth.

 

Senior Services' four Club 55 locations offer various activities, including:

 

• Fitness programs: yoga; tai chi provided by Tom Scott of Hero Martial Arts

• Card games: Bridge, Pinochle, Canasta, Skip-Bo, Kings in the Corner, Cribbage

• Needleworkers activities: Crocheting, knitting, and on-site craft shows

• Wii Bowling tournaments 

• Legacy writing

• Line dancing

• Woodcarving

• Field trips to local parks, shopping centers, casinos, and more

​

Catered meals are provided at each Club, courtesy of The Voluntary Action Center and Heritage Woods.

 

All of Senior Services' programs are offered at little-to-no charge, thanks in part to the generous support of community agencies,and proceeds from The Country Store. 

 

For more information, or to volunteer, email Diana King, Program Manager, or call 815-758-8616.
