Senior Space

United Methodist Communities offers Senior Space, distinctive programing for older adults. Seniors can socialize, take a class, access resources, learn to use technology, engage in discussions about current events, mingle, and have fun.

Each Senior Space has a casual “drop-in center” feel. Family members may attend and inquire about resources, use the public Wi-Fi, and otherwise occupy themselves while their loved ones engage in the activities.

Most services and classes are either at no cost or a nominal fee. Participants may choose, free of pressure and commitment, to attend what they find appealing. While the programs vary, some of the offerings include:

• Wellness-focused events hosted by on-site community partners
• Technology education
• TED talks (a global set of Technology, Entertainment and Design conferences)
• A resource professional with information about senior living, entitlements and benefits
• Chair yoga, Zumba®, dance, exercise and movement
• Enriching specialty programs led by multi-talented volunteers
• Culinary demonstrations and healthy eating programs
• Creative writing groups, reading and book clubs
• Art, painting and jewelry making
