Casa Feliz: The Senior Adults Program
Casa Feliz is a warm and friendly environment where senior citizens enjoy daily fellowship, health education, arts and crafts, hot meals, and field trips! Our senior adults celebrate birthdays and all major holidays with activities such as dancing, karaoke, guests instrumentalists and DJs. Between 2018 and 2021, Casa Feliz enrollment has more than doubled, growing to an all-time high of 75 senior community members. Once a week, the program receives fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution.
The goals of the program consist of creating social networks and reducing isolationism, improving strength and balance, maintaining cognitive health, encouraging a positive nutritional status and promoting health and chronic disease management.
Additionally, Casa Feliz has a Homebound Program in which staff and senior citizens visit those who are unable to attend the Center, to assure they, too, are provided a social network.
