Testimonials
- “All Mom did was sit in front of the TV until the center became a part of her life. Now she is involved, exercises, volunteers and has new friends” - an appreciative daughter
- “Dad wasn’t eating well and seemed to have little interest after our Mom passed. Someone suggested he go to the center. Now, he has lunch friends, takes a class or two, and might exercise on occasion. What a difference! He is interested again in life” - A grateful son
