Unfortunately due to the ongoing Coronoavirus infection mitigation efforts and guidance from the health departments and CDC, the STAR Center is going to closed until at least March 31st. Full Life Care has extended the closure of all our Adult Day Health sites as well. This is unfortunate for everybody but we must follow the guidelines. We will let you know when the Star Center will open again. Thank you for your cooperation. John

Hello Star center Facebook friends. This is John one of the volunteers. I just wanted to send a friendly reminder that the Star Center is open 1 to 5 M-F until the end of the year. There will be no classes available until next year.

I encourage everybody to come in and take advantage of everything Star Center has to offer.
