Looking for a place to get involved?
Our senior centers provide the perfect place for active older people to meet new friends, keep up with their acquaintances, join a few health and wellness activities, and get a hot nutritious lunch. Every center keeps its own schedule of special activities, so you should always contact your local center to find out what’s available in your area.
Older adults might enjoy bingo, pool, dancing, quilting, card games, yoga, strength training, art classes, and other indoor activities for seniors. Many of our senior centers also offer support groups, and other chronic disease self-management programs.
Our senior centers offer transportation to and from the senior centers. Transportation services include pick-up, drop-off, and some additional stops for errands en-route.
Alongside providers, David Boone Ministries, Inc., Calhoun County, and Community Living Arrangement (CLA), AAASWA continues to offer congregate, and home delivered meal programs throughout 12 counties in southwest Arkansas. These programs are a part of The National Senior Nutrition Program under the Older Americans Act (OAA).
