Senior Citizen Services

 

The aging/senior citizen division offers support services and a variety of social activities and programs to the seniors of our community.  A dedicated and caring staff provides participants with referral services when needed, a hot nutritious meal to share with other members of the senior community, and the opportunity to meet, socialize and participate in activities and special events.  The department offers transportation to doctor appointments, grocery store and pharmacy, free of charge.  For senior citizens who are unable to leave their homes, a Meals on Wheels program is offered.
