Here are some ‘did you know’ services available at Senior Center

||| FROM LYNNETTE WOOD for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||

Did you know that many services available from the Orcas Senior Center are available to others than just seniors? For instance, all of our services are available to adults with disabilities as well as to those aged 60 and older. In addition, the meals program is available to spouses and unpaid caregivers of eligible individuals, regardless of their age, and to individuals of any age who volunteer their services for the program during meal hours.

The center’s foot care nurses are independent partners whose services are available to anyone. The center is a grateful host to the Lion’s Club mobility equipment program, which helps anyone—including people of all ages recovering from surgery or an injury—needing a crutch, cane or other mobility device.

The center also hosts SHIBA volunteer advisors who provide free and confidential help with Medicare to people of all ages. Medical transportation is available to adults with disabilities, as well as to seniors 60 years of age and over. Many of our activities and classes are available to anyone, including the Meeting of the Minds lecture series and many of the wellness classes.

Check out on our website at orcasseniors.org to find out more about all these programs or give us a call at 360-376-2677. We will be happy to hear from you because, even if we aren’t able to help, we can refer you to someone who can. Your generous donation is greatly appreciated to continue to offer and host these important programs for all residents of Orcas Island, not just seniors.
