We are proud of our very active Senior Center here at the Stonestown Family YMCA. Our Senior Center, located at 3150 20th Avenue, across the street from the facility, is open to anyone 60 years of age or older, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. This endeavor is a collaboration between the Stonestown Famiy YMCA and Northern California Presbyterian Homes and Services Programs (RSVP). Programs are funded partially through San Francisco Office on the Aging and our Annual Community Support Campaign. Meals are provided by On Lok's 30th Street Senior Services.
We offer a wide variety of programs and services to our seniors, from fitness classes that are adapted to the needs of the active older adults, to traveling excursions for the get-up-and-go crowd. Some highlights of our senior center are:
- Fitness programs that provide both aerobic and strength training components. We have an adapted exercise class for stroke survivors that meets three times a week, as well as weekly Tai Chi classes and other group exercise classes that focus on the whole body, mind and spirit.
See annex class schedule in our "Fun Programs" section below.
- Recreation is a major ingredient at our senior center. Personal enrichment classes and community college courses are offered.
- Health and nutrition is also a vital part of our center. Hot lunches are served daily for a voluntary donation. Healthy services include weekly blood pressure monitoring, various monthly health screenings, foot clinics and counseling.
- Special events like holidays are celebrated in style with a very special Holiday celebration during December.
- Excursions! We offer both domestic and overseas trips with expert escorts. Every trip is a fun experience.
