Our Purpose

The purpose of the Hoodland Senior Center (HSC) is to serve the needs of anyone 60 years of age or older.  However, in some cases services may be extended to individuals under the age of 60 years who are experiencing a short or long-term disability.  The HSC service area is limited to the greater Hoodland area, defined as that area between Alder Creek and Government Camp, to include the villages of Welches, Rhododendron, Brightwood, and Zigzag.

 

It is our goal to develop and maintain an active senior citizen program in the Hoodland area that provides opportunities and creates an atmosphere that encourages older adults to use their skills, develop their potential, and continue their involvement in the community.  It is also our intent to promote independent living for senior adults, allowing them to continue to live in their homes with dignity and safety.

 

To create senior programs that will be inviting, enjoyable, informative, and designed to overcome the patterns of isolation and depression.  The focus of these programs may include nutrition, recreational activities, entertainment, education, and enhanced health and welfare.

 

To serve as an access point for senior services by providing outreach, referral, and transportation programs.

 

To develop volunteer opportunities for all individuals interested in assisting the HSC in fulfilling our mission and responsibilities.
