LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dear Members,
This has been a very unique and challenging year at the Senior Center as we navigated the new demands placed upon us by COVID-19. No one foresaw the huge impact it would have on our aging community and we had no idea just how busy we would be. Here are the final numbers for the major services we provided to our community.
- 18,981 TO GO Community Dining – hot meals home delivered
- 14,910 Meals On Wheels – frozen meals home delivered 1x/week
- 842 Foot Care appointments
- 104 Bastyr Naturopathic Medical Appointments
- 138 Mental Health and/or Social Work counseling sessions
- 1,474 participant hours in fitness & wellness online Zoom programs
- 1,329 member Wellness Calls to assess for needs
We hope that you will share this information with family and friends, as it is important that the community understand that while our front doors may be locked to control entrance, we are fully operational. Each month, we continue to add more programs, online as well as in-house one-to-one services. Sharing this information assists us in resourcing private and public donations, which has become our lifeline. With little to no ability to engage in the normal revenue generating sources that we have used in the past, we rely on external funding sources to maintain our current services and the addition of creative programming as a result of COVID-19.

The main purpose of this class is to learn about fall prevention but it is a little more active than our Keep Your Balance course. In our first class, we move almost like we do in “Fall Prevention Exercise” class but were sitting on the chair whole times. We also discuss how to prevent falls. After a long period of “Stay Home”, muscles may have gotten weak, so this course works to re-establish strength
Keep Your Balance Keep Moving Zoom Class
Dates: Wednesdays and Fridays 9:00am-10:00am (A Block)
New session begins March 24th

Cost: Free
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among older adults. The good news is that falling is not an inevitable part of the aging process. Middle-aged and older adults can reduce their risk of falling by knowing their fall risk factors. In this class you will learn the risk factors of falling so that you will be able to decrease fear of falling and the risk of falling. We focus especially on the topic of the importance of regular exercise, what kind of exercise can improve a person’s balance, and how to start being active if you never have in the past. Anybody will benefit from this class, including family members of seniors.
Please note class is progressive and cannot be dropped in mid-course. Limit 8.

To-Go Hot Meal Community Dining
Call 206-365-1536 before 9:00am to order for the week.
Suggested donation is $4.00 for participants over 60.
Cheaper than an app based delivery service at a $4.00 suggested donation, these hot meals provide a unique option for our aging community members to experience delightful meals like they do in our center. Community members have stepped up to deliver these meals, supporting our most vulnerable population by offering no contact delivery five days a week. As opposed to using a digital application, the ordering process is as simple as placing a phone call to our facility where onsite staff are prepared to take orders for the week.
