Program activities include congregate dining, low-impact aerobics exercise, pinochle, cards, Bingo, art classes compliments of Art Services, Inc., healthy aging education, recreational activities, day trips, and more. Transportation is provided for those in need.
Through collaborations and partnerships, the program also gives the local senior population access to regular on-site free screenings and consultations.
The VCA Senior Program is dedicated to promoting preventative measures and provides a network of support to improve the quality of life in the local senior population. The program is held at the Geraldine Butler Senior Center, located at the Valley Community Center at 93 Leddy Street, Buffalo, NY 14210.
