Wellness Programs for Senior Adults

Plan a nutrition, strength training, or gardening program with the Poe Center.

Staying active, eating well, and being socially connected are essential at every stage of life — and especially important for adults aged 60 and older. Our senior-focused programs are thoughtfully designed to:

  • Support independence.
  • Improve mobility.
  • Foster community connections.

Through strength training, recipe demonstrations, and gardening activities, participants experience meaningful, health-focused experiences that support physical and mental well-being.

How to Plan a Program

The Poe Center offers a wide range of programs that can be adapted to meet the unique needs of participants. Both single one-hour sessions and multi-session programs are available.

Plan Your Program

“This class helped me by learning stretches to do at home. Improved my balance. Eased some back and shoulder pain.
I also strengthened my back muscles. I would like to see programs like this repeated and others like it offered!”

Stay Strong, Stay Healthy
