Alissa Andrewsbrown, Craven County Senior Services Director, addressed our meeting on October 13th. The Center is located on George Street in New Bern and is open on weekdays to all county residents, 60 years and older.
The Senior Center offers activities and health programs such as arts and crafts, social time, cards, Bingo, Tai Chi, chair exercises, and more. In addition, there are support groups for caregivers helping relatives with dementia and other maladies.
A large part of the Center’s time and budget is spent for Home Delivered Meals (HDM) where a nutritional meal is delivered daily to seniors on limited budgets or who are homebound. Over 160 individuals who qualify are served in Craven County. For more information, you may check out their website.
