Healthy Aging Programs
Exploring Creativity
Older adults who engage in creativity have better emotional, cognitive, and physical health. In this group for adults 55+, we introduce and participate in a different form of art each month. This class is held virtually every Wednesday from 10:30 to 11:30 am. No art experience necessary.
The Lunch Bunch Support Group
Lunch Bunch is a social group for people 55+ that brings people together for regular meals and meaningful conversation. Meeting at local restaurants, members enjoy companionship, build friendships, and combat loneliness in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Aging Support Services
Our Older Adult Services Coordinator provides outreach, in-home assessments, resource coordination, and clinical services for older adults, people with dementia, and caregivers of older adults. We can assist in care planning and provide clinical expertise and appropriate referrals to help clients improve their situations and meet the challenges in their lives.
Respite Care Assistance
The purpose of the program is to support older adults to age in place successfully, to relieve stress and emotional burden on family caregivers, and to provide access to affordable, in-home respite care to the many families who cannot otherwise afford this service.
