Life after 50: Newark Senior Center hosting open house – Newark Post

Im not old enough for the senior center!

I cant tell you how many times I have heard that since I became executive director 10 years ago. If you are brave enough to stop by for a visit, I think you will see that we are not your ordinary senior center; we are first and only nationally accredited senior center in the state of Delaware and continue to be a model center throughout the nation.

There is a saying in the senior center community if you have seen one senior center, you have seen one senior center. All senior centers have their own unique personality, offer a variety of programs and services and choose to meet the needs of the community in many different ways. I would like to invite you to visit the NSC at 200 White Chapel Dr. in Newark on July 13 from 4 6 pm or July 14 from 9 am noon for an open house.

The open house will showcase the various programs and services provided by the center. If you are not familiar with the center, I think you will be amazed at the variety of programming designed to meet the needs of the 50-year age range of the population that we serve.

Yes, our age is 50 and over. There are many opportunities to appeal to our younger members and plenty of inspiration as we admire the older participants at the center. If you are already a member of the center, you will learn more about all that we do offer and the new programs and services that continue to meet the changing needs of our community.

You are welcome to stop by anytime, tour the center and see what sets us apart. We are pleased to offer: a therapeutic pool, supervised fitness center, exercise classes to meet every level of ability, enrichment opportunities like the computer club, discussion groups, art classes, language classes, endless social opportunities and a wonderful freshly prepared lunch each day. We also have many volunteer opportunities that enhance every area of our center and make our Meals on Wheels and Meeting of Minds programs possible.

The NSC is also home to a Social Services Director / Caregiver Resource Center. Many resources are available to assist individuals with: insurance questions, caregiver support, housing, financial coaching other service that may help people to age in the community.

The NSC fills many needs for individuals and for the community. Please join us at the open house and please come with an open mind.
