Retirement Services

RETIREMENT ENRICHMENT SERVICES
Retirement Services are offered to adults over the age of 62 who no longer want or need full-time, work-oriented services and who have been approved to enter services by the Admissions Committee. Our center is located downtown which allows us to participate in a variety of community events.  Retirement is open Monday –Friday from 8:00 am-4:00 pm.  We offer a variety of services but focus on the following areas:

Leisure, Education & Recreation: At Retirement we go to parks, the library, gardens, and take part in group activities and community events.  We also do many activities at the Retirement Center such as painting, reading, cooking & baking, playing games such as bingo and dominoes, watching movies and participating in classes and educational events.  We also take art classes at the Lawrence Arts Center, participate in music therapy through the KU Music Therapy Program, volunteer at the KU Sensory Garden and have the Lawrence Public Library come and visit us once a month with their “Book Talk” program.  In addition to our other leisure activities, Retirement holds an annual art show.

Wellness:  Wellness is learning about exercise and healthy eating habits.  At Retirement we offer assistance with daily exercise for those who wish to participate.  We also have a variety of videos and work out equipment and offer classes on wellness and health related topics on a regular basis.
