 Ohio
Department of Aging Senior Centers site has plenty
of information for Ohio seniors.
Ohio has a vibrant and rich network of more
than 450 full- and part-time senior centers, which offer
Ohioans age 60 and older a place to go for nutritious meals,
social activities, volunteer opportunities, health screenings,
health and consumer education, creative arts, exercise and
more. Many multipurpose senior centers work with local partners
to deliver home and community-based services that allow
older adults to live independently in their own homes (i.e.,
transportation services, meals-on-wheels, adult day care,
telephone reassurance, senior companions, personal care,
homemaker services and more). more..
In Ohio, senior centers are not required
to be licensed or certified. Centers are organized locally,
shaping their offerings around the unique geography and
population of the area. Centers vary in size, membership
and programs available. Some senior centers serve an entire
county, while others may serve only a small community. Centers
may be run by county or municipal governments or by not-for-profit
organizations. Funding for individual senior centers is
as diverse as the centers themselves and may include federal
funding, state funds, local government funds, senior services
levies, funds from local philanthropic organizations and
individual donations. However, all senior centers have one
thing in common: a mission to promote the dignity, self-determination,
and well-being of older Ohioans. |
