Mission

SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1960, SENIOR CENTER, INC. (DOING BUSINESS AS "THE CENTER") HAS PURSUED ITS MISSION TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE LIVES OF OLDER ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY BY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTHY AGING THROUGH SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT, PHYSICAL WELL-BEING, CIVIC INVOLVEMENT, CREATIVITY, AND LIFELONG LEARNING. THE CDC CONSIDERS THE AGING OF THE U.S. POPULATION ONE OF THE MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY; INCREASING THE NUMBER OF OLDER ADULTS WHO LIVE HIGH-QUALITY, PRODUCTIVE, AND INDEPENDENT LIVES IS A PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT OLDER ADULTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS LIKE THOSE OFFERED BY THE CENTER ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCESSFULLY AGE IN PLACE AND INCUR LOWER HEALTH CARE COSTS. IN FY24 (APRIL 1, 2023-MARCH 31, 2024) THE CENTER PROVIDED OVER 10,644 PROGRAMS, CLASSES, EVENTS, AND TRIPS TO INCREASE OLDER ADULTS' HEALTH, RESILIENCY, AND INDEPENDENCE.

  • RECREATION/SOCIAL WELLNESS - PEOPLE WHO MAINTAIN THEIR SOCIAL NETWORK AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS ARE BETTER ABLE TO MANAGE STRESS AND THE CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH AGING. RECREATION PROGRAMS COMBAT LONELINESS AND ISOLATION, WHICH ARE LINKED TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES THAT INCLUDE DEPRESSION, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, COGNITIVE DECLINE, AND AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF NEEDING LONG- TERM CARE. THE CENTER OFFERED ALMOST 81,000 HOURS IN PROGRAMMING DESIGNED FOR SOCIAL CONNECTION.

FITNESS AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET A WIDE RANGE OF ABILITY LEVELS AND PRESERVE OR INCREASE FUNCTIONAL FITNESS.

  • VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - CLINICAL STUDIES INDICATE THAT OLDER ADULTS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND SKILLS ARE HAPPIER, HAVE AN INCREASED SENSE OF WELL-BEING, ENJOY BROADER SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND LIVE LONGER. IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, 361 CENTER VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 40,155 HOURS OF SERVICE AT THE CENTER AND AT 36 NONPROFITS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO THE VIRGINIA OFFICE ON VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THESE VOLUNTEER SERVICE HOURS EQUATES TO OVER 18 FULL-TIME POSITIONS. WITH LIMITED PAID STAFFING, THE CENTER RELIES ON VOLUNTEERS TO PROVIDE OVER 50% OF THE LABOR REQUIRED TO RUN THE ORGANIZATION; THIS HELPS TO KEEP THE COSTS OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES LOW WHILE ALSO REINFORCING A GREATER SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG CENTER STAKEHOLDERS.

FROM WORLD WAR II DISCUSSION GROUP TO ITALIAN FOR TRAVELERS, LOCAL SENIORS CAN CONNECT WITH OTHERS WHILE GAINING A BROADER UNDERSTANDING OF THEMSELVES AND THE WORLD. LIFELONG LEARNING CAN ALSO INCREASE MEMORY AND THINKING SKILLS, HELP DEVELOP COPING STRATEGIES AS LIFE CHANGES, AND LIMIT OR SLOW COGNITIVE DECLINE. ARTS, PERFORMING ARTS, AND CRAFTS - GLOBAL STUDIES LINK ARTS PARTICIPATION WITH POSITIVE COGNITIVE, SOCIAL, AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES ACROSS THE LIFESPAN; ITS PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS AS A HEALTH PROMOTION STRATEGY OFFERS INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE CENTER OFFERED OVER 18,000 HOURS OF ARTS PROGRAMMING. ARTS PROGRAMMING OFFERS INSTRUCTION AND PROVIDES PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ENCOURAGE SELF-EXPRESSION AND CREATIVITY.
