The Senior Center of Elk Grove has served the Elk Grove senior community for 45 years.
Located in southern Sacramento County, the City of Elk Grove is one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the United States and our membership reflects that diversity. We value the life experience of every senior, and all are welcomed with a smile and a friendly greeting.
Our goal is the health, happiness and vitality of our senior community. We strive for our seniors to maintain a healthy, fit lifestyle, both physically and mentally by providing them access to a fun and safe environment at the Senior Center.
The Center offers over 100 hours of programming each week.
We feature fitness programs that are designed for senior bodies such as, body toning programs, dancing programs, strength and stretch programs and chair exercise programs.
We offer many social programs and activities for our seniors to engage their minds and have fun such as, genealogy, writing and book groups, art programs, card game groups, bingo program, and music programs.
The Center provides our seniors with support groups that include men’s and women's talk groups, parkinson’s support, parkinson's caregiver support, alzheimer’s caregiver support and grief support.
We also strive to provide many educational and informational resources to our seniors on a wide variety of subjects, such as nutrition, avoiding scams, in home health services and even end of life services and education.
Most importantly, the Senior Center has created an environment that helps seniors feel safe and welcome. For some, a family that they either currently do not have or never had. We encourage them to get involved and try new things all while meeting new people and having fun at the Senior Center.
Our membership exceeds 2,300 seniors from all over Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties. Our members range in age from 50 years to 101 years and come from many ethnic backgrounds, walks of life and countries. The Senior Center of Elk Grove is proud to call all of its members "family".
Senior Center of Elk Grove empowers adults in our community who are 50 and over to live meaningful, healthy, and dignified lives by providing programs for fitness, lifelong learning, social interaction, and independence in a welcoming environment.
The Senior Center of Elk Grove has grown beyond our dreams! It's a wonderful "problem". Our goal is for expanding to a new Center with better parking, more programs and easier access for all seniors. It will be an expensive endeavor for us. Donations received will allow us to put a new center in the "can-do" column!
Funding and donations enable the Senior Center to continue and expand the programs the Seniors in our community need.
The Senior Center of Elk Grove is committed to creating a culture that values diverse perspectives and experiences, and promotes opportunities for everyone to thrive.
