Senior Services: Senior Centers

Who do the Senior Centers serve?

Established in 1984, the Senior Program provides leisure, recreational, social and health related activities for older adults (age 45 up) with developmental disabilities.  The program is designed specifically for adults looking for retirement alternatives to the world of work or active day programming.

The program design helps seniors age in place and continue to live in community housing. HOPE Senior Services is a licensed program through Community Care Licensing.

HOPE’s Senior Centers provide a full 6 hour day, year round, with wide range of services and activities:

  • Arts and Crafts.

  • Community Outings including typical experiences such as movies, museums, and lunch at local restaurants.

  • Direct case management and assessments.

  • Hobby Clubs; such as gardening, art, music, and cooking.

  • Community resource information and referrals.

  • Exercise and health related programming.

  • Transportation to local community activities during program hours.

  • The Senior Program enables our consumers to access their community and the opportunity to interact, socialize and enjoy educational and recreational activities within their communities.
