Social Service - Bugbee Senoir Center

Open Monday through Friday , 8:30am - 4:30pm

The Bugbee Senior Center is a community focal point which has continuously grown over the past twenty-eight years! Presently we are able to offer the following network of comprehensive services: congregate and home delivered meals, transportation, paralegal assistance, health clinics, volunteer opportunities, information and referrals, intergenerational activities, housing assistance, primary case management, advocacy/assistance with social security, Medicare, food stamps, and fuel assistance, arts and humanities programming, recreational activities, exercise and yoga classes, health clinics, and more. Our "CRAFTS" retail outlet is a popular entity. All of our gifts are handmade by crafters over the age of 60. We are well known as a great place to purchase a gift for persons of any age.

During the past year, we provided an ever increasing amount of support helping local elders remain independent and to live in their homes longer and remain contributing members of our community. Our requests for transportation continue to increase as well as requests for home delivered meals to those homebound or convalescing. As the aging population continues to increase we will continually strive to include more successful aging activities within our programs and activities.
