Connecting Older Adults in Our Community
Celebrate National Senior Centers Month in September. September is National Senior Centers Month and a time to celebrate how these centers pro- vide opportunities for older adults in our com- munity to connect with one another. There are over 11,000 senior centers nationwide, all serv- ing as essential community spaces for people to socialize, engage in activities, access resources, and receive support. Studies show social connections are an essential need throughout our lives and as we age. Irvine is fortunate to have three centers dedicated to programs and services for older adults, Lakeview and Rancho senior centers and Trabuco Center. These centers promote social and cultural con- nections through recreational and enrichment programs for older adults. The Keen Center for Senior Resources, located in Lakeview Senior Center, offers health screenings, counseling, transportation assistance, nutritional services, and more. These services help maintain independence as we age. The resources offered through the Keen Center promote independence and healthy aging. Irvine Senior Services will be hosting a series of programs at Lakeview and Rancho senior centers and Trabuco Center throughout the month of September. Participants who join these programs will have their name entered into an opportunity drawing at the Healthy Living Expo Friday, September 20, from 9 a.m. to noon at Lakeview Senior Center (see Page 4) .
