Senior Centers
Five Senior Centers Strategically Located Throughout Rockland County
The Senior Centers offer a "home away from home" for hundred of participants who enjoy the
camaraderie of their peers, stimulating activities and a delicious lunch. Any Rockland County
resident 60 years of age or accompanied by a spouse 60 or older is eligible to participate. Door-to-door
transportation is provided. A suggested donation for lunch and transportation is requested, but not
mandatory.
The centers offer:
- Fun activities such as exercise, book discussion groups, needle arts, Tai Chi, poetry writing, cards, shopping
trips, trips to dinner theatres, restaurants, and, of course, Bingo.
- Special events in which all five Senior Centers participate include an Office for the Aging sponsored
Senior Awareness Day, and an annual Medication Management and Walkathon. Other programs can include picnics,
Wii tournaments and special holiday events.
- An "Alert & Alive" program, sponsored by the Office for the Aging, is offered to members
once a year. The sessions run for nine weeks and feature speakers who discuss topics related to health and social issues
such as Stress Relief, Eating Healthy, Creative Writing, Keeping Your Mind Active.
- A hot lunch prepared by our Commissary is served daily.
The Senior Center program is partially funded under the Older Americans Act with local matching funds
provided by the County, various towns and villages and participant donations.
