September is National Senior Center Month
This September, the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) is demonstrating how senior centers are an integral part of aging well. Senior centers help individuals improve or maintain their health and provide communities with proper support for older adults. Innovative programs hosted at senior centers can change the perception of aging and create important community resources for aging expertise.
In Bucks County, there are 13 senior centers that offer a broad array of activities such as classes offering instruction in computers, dance, Zumba, quilting, painting, knitting, yoga, aerobics, Tai Chi, ceramics, chess and more. They may host a blood drive, offer trip excursions to places like Hershey, the New Jersey shore, Lancaster, and
more. They may offer games like pinochle, bridge, canasta, bingo, mahjongg, and more. They hold workshops and even offer help with tax preparation. Check out their websites or give them a call to learn what your local Senior Center can offer you. We hope you will visit one near you! A list of Bucks County Senior Centers follows.
