The Carrollton
Senior Center opened in January of 2000. The facility is
located at 220 West Avenue, which is behind the Carrollton
Community Activities Center. The facility is open every
Monday through Friday from 8am to 3pm. Senior Adults over the
age of fifty-five that come to the Senior Center can
participate in programs such as computers, line dancing, water
aerobics, arts and crafts classes, ceramics, quilting,
billiards, chair exercises, card games, and many other
activities. The seniors enjoy many holiday parties throughout
the year. Usually there are games, music, prizes, food and
fun! Day trips are taken monthly and overnight trips a few
times a year. A congregate meals program is provided Monday
through Friday at noon for members. Those over 60 pay $1
donation per meal and those under the age of 60 pay $2.50.
Nice and Easy
Aerobics classes are offered in the Bonner Building for those
interested in exercising. If that is not enough, the fitness
center is free to members of the Senior Center. Senior Dances
are held in the Pilot Auditorium of the Community Activities
Building every second and fourth Friday night at 7:30pm. Paul
Cooper's band plays great music for every one to enjoy.
Admission is $3 per person and if you want you can bring a
snack to share.
A contract duplicate
bridge league plays every Tuesday and Thursday in the
Community Activities Center. All of these activities as well as many
others are offered by the Carrollton Senior Center, and to be
a member it costs only $10 a year!

Meals on Wheels
The Carrollton Senior Center prepares
and delivers meals for homebound senior citizens in the
community. A lunch meal is delivered to thirty-eight people
each day, Monday through Friday.
The qualifications for meals on
wheels are:
- A person must be over 60 years of
age
- They must
live alone or live with someone who also meets the
qualifications
- They must be unable or have
difficulties in preparing a hot, nutritious meal
- They must live in our delivery
area
Dietitians put the menus together and
they meet one third of the daily food requirements. Not only
is the food important for the participants, the daily
face-to-face contact with the delivery person is beneficial as
well. If you or someone that you know is interested in
receiving meals on wheels, you can contact Danielle Jenkins at
(770) 832-1644 or (770) 832-0189.
*At the present time there is a
temporary hold on the congregate, home delivered, and
transportation programs due to decreased federal and state
funding. To get signed up for the waiting list, contact the
Area Agency on Aging at (770) 854-6026.
