Euclid Senior Programs - Come Visit Us!

The Euclid Senior Center isn't just for ‘old’ people!! There is a myth floating out there that Senior Centers are for “old” people. I often ask people what “old” means, and they say it is people who are at least five years older than themselves, whether they’re 70, 80, 90 or beyond. I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

The use of the term “senior” for centers which focus on programming, services and activities for older adults has been debated for years. What do we call ourselves so that young retirees feel as welcome in our facility as do the older ones?

No matter what the name, if you haven’t been to our Euclid Senior Center recently, then you’ll be surprised at what is offered. It’s not just for the frail, passive person any more. Our senior center reflects the values and preferences of our Euclid community.

Our primary mission is to provide activities, transportation, field trips, educational and entertainment, information and referral resources and a nutrition program for people age 60 and over. The goal is to assist older adults to remain safely in their homes for as long as possible. We also offer the activities to anyone who is 50 and over.

Some of our activities include, Yoga, Line Dancing, Art Class, Beading, Tai-Chi, Bingo, local field trips, arts and crafts, sewing, knitting, pinocchle, Bridge, just to name a few. We are always open to new ideas!

We have a podiatrist who is at our center every Wednesday morning to provide clipping services for people who can no longer do it for themselves for a nominal fee. Over forty seniors avail themselves of this each month. We also offer free Blood Pressure Screenings each Thursday morning, compliments of Senior Independence. 

But to many, our center is like a local establishment, where everyone knows your name. We think of each other as family. We are a good resource for information and assistance. You don’t have to be “old” to come through our doors. We’d love to meet you. We’re located in the Lakefront Community Center, 1 Bliss Lane, Euclid, 44123. 216-289-2985.
