Lakeview Shepherd Center

By offering wellness classes, enrichment activities and opportunities for social engagement in a welcoming home-like space, the Lakeview Shepherd Center works to keep local seniors active and engaged. The mission and purpose of the Lakeview Shepherd Center is to enable older adults to remain vital and independent members of the community, to promote positive aging and to celebrate senior wisdom and talent.

The Lakeview Shepherd Center (LSC) is a free nonprofit day center for seniors founded in 1977 and dedicated to providing seniors with resources, programs, and connections to enrich their daily lives.

The Lakeview Shepherd Center's home-like setting offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere where seniors can remain engaged and active through social interactions, strong friendships, arts and crafts classes, games, exercise, and other activities. Round-trip shuttle service ensures that seniors without their own transportation have access.

The goal for all LSC senior services is to support the elderly in maintaining independence in their homes and maximizing their quality of life. Cards, games and ample time for visiting encourage socializing and meeting new friends. Daily meals and snacks serve nutritional needs. Movement classes focus on balance, strength, and confidence and promote stress relief and self-care. Art class, computer class, and writing class stimulate creativity and engage and challenge the mind. Monthly, the center serves between 30 and 75 seniors.
