The Office for the Aging offers a variety of programs to keep older adults active.
Many older people think they are too old or frail to exercise. Nothing could be further from the truth. Physical activity of any kind is good for you.
- We offer many exercise programs for older adults, along with tai chi, the "A Matter of Balance" falls prevention program, and our Bingocize program.
- For those who prefer a remote (online) exercise option, the SAIL (Stay Active and Independent for Life) exercise program is available.
Each of the above programs operates with essential assistance from Office for the Aging volunteers. For more information about volunteer opportunities:
View our listing of Recreation Programs and Services below for detailed information.
