The Mission of the Center is to enrich the lives of our retired seniors. The goal of the program is to protect, strengthen and empower. The goal for fulfilling the Mission Statement is found in the following philosophies:

Protecting:

Strengthening:

By using an eclectic approach through programming.

Enriching:

By providing social interaction with other seniors and the community.
By offering therapeutic programs such as:

--Art Therapy.

By treating each other with respect and dignity.
By acting as an extended family with which to share thoughts and emotions.
By motivating our seniors to discover new interests.

Empowering:

By looking at abilities, not disabilities.
By assisting with personal choice and freedom of choice.
By providing daily supports to achieve the maximum quality of life.
