June is Seniors Month 💚

Our Community Home Support Services (CHSS) department offers a range of supportive services for seniors, designed to enhance quality of life, promote independence, and foster meaningful community connection.

Our Wellness Check-Ins and Social Visits provide companionship through phone calls and in-person visits by trustworthy SECC volunteers, reducing isolation and offering peace of mind — because a simple connection can make all the difference.

These services not only support overall well-being, but also offer caregivers valuable time for personal needs, whether it’s running errands or attending appointments.

In 2025, 124 individuals were part of wellness check-ins or social visits.

Making memories with ADP! 🍕📚

This week, our Adult Day Program enjoyed a couple of fun field trips! From making their own pizzas at Domino’s to spending the morning playing games and creating crafts at the library, it was a week full of laughter and connection.

We’re so grateful for these experiences 💚 Thank you Domino's Pizza and Essex County Library Leamington Branch for hosting us!
