Serving our senior citizens

The Elkins Senior Center offers a myriad of services for our senior citizen population. Contact the Center during regular operating hours to inquire about each service. 

We are open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday

Meals on Wheels

One of our most important services is the Meals on Wheels Program, operated by this area's Senior Centers. Each day, Monday through Friday, hot meals are delivered to the area's homebound elderly, and frozen meals ready for microwaving are delivered for weekends and holidays. The meals are cooked fresh daily and are nutritionally planned and balanced.

Socialization

Our Senior Centers are enthusiastic about providing a wide variety of socialization opportunities for participants. Life should be fun, and we strive to make it so! During regular hours of operation, choices of activities usually include table games, billiards, computer classes, exercise classes, music events, public speakers, and more. Each Center is equipped with gym and exercise gear, including treadmills, stationary bikes, and weight lifting equipment. Group socialization is encouraged, but if a participant prefers a quiet place to read or chat with friends, the opportunity and space are also available.

Group Meals

The most important meal of the day may well be the one you enjoy with friends! Each weekday at lunchtime, between 11:30 and 12:30, our Senior Centers serve hot, nutritious meals.

Transportation

We have limited transportation services as available. Anyone needing transportation needs to contact the center to check for availability. We have congregate transportation for those who call in the morning and transportation home usually departs between 1:30 and 2:00.
