| Check out these great county resources for older adults! Several County programs help older adults stay connected and provide activities for well-being including: The Feeling Fit Club: classes for older adults of all abilities. Classes focus on building strength, balance, cardio and flexibility. There are nearly 40 classes a week held in person or virtually throughout the region. Tai Chi classes are also available. Meals and Senior Dining: hot, nutritious meals are served for people over 60 years old weekly at nearly 30 locations around the region. Many locations also offer transportation. Tech2Connect: gives internet-connected tablets and technology training to encourage social connection and resources for mental health. The program is available to eligible In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) recipients who live alone and are at greatest risk of social isolation by calling (858)505-6972. Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP): helps eligible older adults stay in their home by providing help with certain tasks like laundry, shopping or making bill payments. Volunteer opportunities: older adults can find social connections and serve the community in a variety of ways through Senior Volunteers in Action (SVA) or the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Volunteers can also serve in the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program to visit long-term care sites to ensure residents receive quality care and advocate for their rights.
