The XYZ Senior Center functions to offer much-needed services to our community’s elders. These services include meals, transportation, shower facilities, and laundry facilities. Occasionally, special services such as vaccination clinics and nutrition seminars are also offered. Activities are available during the day, with staff supervision, including falls prevention and strength exercising, outings, cultural activities, nutritional and health monitoring in partnership with Norton Sound Health Corporation, fishing, and berry picking.
Elders have the opportunity to socialize and gain confidence as they learn to engage with technologies such as the computer lab, tablets and cell phones. Structured activities help program participants to take advantage of all the center has to offer. Congregate meals and home deliveries of nutritious food contribute to the improved health outcomes of our seniors. Community partners help to keep cultural connections as an important component to improve quality of life.
Over 150 seniors in the community are registered participants at the center. In addition, community members stop by to use the computers and laundry facilities.
