Senior Centers |
| |
The East Arkansas Area Agency on Aging contracts with local community agencies, called Provider Agencies, to operate Senior Centers that offer an array of services.
Senior Citizens Centers are operated throughout East Arkansas. These centers, open five days per week, provide various services such as socialization, transportation, home-delivered meals and congregate meals. These programs are available to foster the health and well-being of older persons. The centers provide a means for increasing social contact among elderly people.
Senior Centers are located in one or more of the twelve counties the East Arkansas Area Agency on Aging serves and are open five days a week. Local Senior Centers serve as focal points for senior services in the community.
All centers serve a hot congregate meal which meets at least 1/3 RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) to all eligible persons. Many centers offer activities such as exercise classes, dances, board gam
es, cards, educational speakers, organized trips, arts and crafts and quilting among many others.
Senior Center participants unable to drive to the senior center, doctor or grocery store have transportation services made available to them through the senior center.
Home delivered meals are available to homebound older adults who can not attend the Senior Centers and who meet the greatest economic and social need
