Senior Adult Information

The Senior Department quarterly newsletter, Mature Matters, will keep you up-to-date on programs, travel opportunities and special events.

Our Senior Adult Lounge can be reached by elevator. Wheelchairs and a walker are available for those with limited mobility. Our comfortable lounge is used for programs, lunches, holiday celebrations and more. Stop by during other hours and have a cup of coffee and kibbitz with friends.
