The Castle Hill Senior Center is a daily program in existence for over 47 years serving the elderly for our community. What makes Castle Hill so special is the emphasis on making the program a “Home away from Home.” The facility is opened from 8am-4pm everyday, Monday thru Friday. We provide a nutritional, educational, recreational, and a social environment. Some of the activities include Arts and crafts, latch-hook, quilting, painting, ceramics, line dancing, exercise, walking programs, swimming, lap-canvassing, knitting and crocheting, monthly and weekly trips, bingo, pool, dominos, computer classes, and health based nutrition topics. On a daily basis we can service approximately 120 seniors.
In the past our senior travelers have visited places like Bermuda, Alaska, Hawaii, West and South Caribbean, Las Vegas, Wildwood, Lancaster, Puerto Rico and more. We are also able to provide a social service component to our seniors that will help with entitlements, or any personal issues. Presently we have in place visiting Nurse Services twice a week. The nurses are able to assess the senior and provide the necessary assistance that a senior and homebound, may need.
