The Chanhassen Senior Center is a community engagement facility that offers programs, trips, meals, activities, education and wellness services for patrons 55 and older. The Senior Center is staffed by one full-time coordinator. On June 1, 2024, the Senior Center moved its programming and operations from the lower level of Chanhassen City Hall to the Chanhassen Recreation Center, due to the construction of the new Civic Campus and City Hall building. This allowed for the best accessibility options, created a new partnership-focused model with the Recreation Center and gave the Senior Center shared staffing resources that were critical to a successful program year. The new Senior Center is slated to open late summer of 2025, on the first floor of the new City Hall.
VOLUNTEERS The Senior Center relies on over 100 volunteers to maintain quality programming. Volunteers run weekly and monthly groups, devote time to special events and provide free, valuable information and resources during educational outreach and individual meetings with patrons. TIMELY HELP HIGHLIGHTS » Cub Pharmacy provided 70 immunizations during the annual Free Flu Shot Clinic. » AARP volunteers prepared and filed income taxes at no cost for 96 limited income clients – a nearly 50% increase from 2023. » Senior Community Services (SCS) volunteers gave 48 hours of free tech help to 74 individuals with their smart phones or laptops. » Local nurses provided 337 low cost, individual foot care sessions, marking a 33% increase in services from 2023.
GRANTS & DONATIONS » The Martha Walker Memorial Fund provides scholarships for patrons deterred from enjoying fee-based programs due to financial strains. $494 in donations gave 19 individuals opportunities to participate without barriers. » Annual sponsorship funds totaled $1,286. » Local senior housing sites and businesses provided food and supplies for many programs and events. Annual in-kind sponsorships & donations, including 4th of July Bingo Prizes, Lions Club Annual Picnic costs and other donated snacks/lunches were estimated at over $1,900.
