Services
Since 1967 the Council on Aging has been offering programs, activities and services to Salem residents aged 60 and older. The Senior Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are no dues or membership fees. A schedule of events, information and special announcements are provided in "Senior Power," the Council on Aging's monthly newsletter, which can be delivered to your home for an annual donation of $3.

We offer curb-to-curb transportation to and from the Senior Center, medical appointments, food shopping, etc. Our vans are handicap-accessible (please specify when reserving a ride). Vans are available Monday through Friday. Two-day advance reservations are necessary and donations are accepted to aid with regular vehicle maintenance.
Nutrition
Hot nutritious meals are available at 11:30 a.m., Monday through Friday at the Senior Center, with prior reservation. Home Delivered Meals are also offered to homebound elders (confined to their homes by health problems). A donation is suggested to defray the cost of the meals.
Wellness Clinic
Wellness Clinic
A registered nurse is available during scheduled hours for checking blood pressure, reviewing medications, and conducting a variety of health screenings. Health education programs are held regularly and flu and pneumonia shots are offered annually. We also offer podiatry services and occasional hearing clinics at pre-scheduled times.
Dancing, bingo, exercise groups, yoga, chair massage, organized trips, educational programs, craft groups, woodworking, and card games are just some of the exciting activities going on at the Center. Call to see if we have what you're looking for!
Volunteer Services
Volunteer Services
We have a wonderful group of volunteers at the Center. Without these dedicated and talented individuals we would not be able to offer the services that we do. We are always in need of more volunteers to assist with a variety of programs. If you are interested in giving some of your time to help elders, please call!
Social Services
Licensed Social Workers provide information and referral, support and assistance to folks who have questions or concerns. They can assist with problems related to Social Security, health insurance, housing and many other personal issues. You may either drop in or call to schedule an appointment with a Social Worker. A home visit can also be arranged if necessary.
