Senior Program
The Center Community Senior Program (CCSP) offers a compassionate, professional-directed initiative aimed at enhancing the well-being of senior adults in our community. By providing health and wellness education, therapeutic activities, and socialization opportunities, CCSP significantly improves mental health and overall quality of life for participating seniors. Additionally, the program serves as a respite for caregivers facing demanding responsibilities. Studies show that social isolation and loneliness in older adults significantly impact health, increasing risks for dementia, heart disease, and stroke. The CCSP is designed to counteract these risks by fostering engagement, connectedness, and overall community well-being for our senior population.
​
The Center Community Senior Program will take place every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. The schedule will remain the same except for the presenter. Participants will be provided with lunch.

Loneliness and social isolation among older adults pose significant public health risks in the United States, elevating the likelihood of conditions like dementia. Studies indicate that adults aged 50 and above experiencing social isolation face increased risks:
Premature death risks rivaling those of smoking,
obesity, and physical inactivity.
50% higher risk of dementia
​​​68% increased risk of hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits among heart failure patients.
29% increased risk of heart disease and 32% risk of stroke.
Higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide due to loneliness.
