About Us
Board & Staff
We have a dedicated team with a eleven-member board of directors, executive director, assistant director, two department heads, and 21 staff members.
Community Outreach
Community outreach is very important to us. Our staff and volunteers are committed to fulfilling this mission. This past year, more than 3,000 community members used our facility, including a client base of 1,200 individuals. More than 38,000 meals were served in a congregate meal program. 125 clients participate monthly in the activities programs, 100 are served through the Wyoming in Home Services program, and 5 are served through the Family Caregiver Program. We answer more than 1000 information and referral calls per month including respite care, health issues, tax assistance and more. More than 65 community groups meet month at the senior center for a variety of activities including senior exercise classes, socialization activities, educational programs, college classes and several community service organizations.
Clients
While we target our meal services for the over-60 population of Natrona County, the largest group we serve is between the ages of 75 and 84 (15,807 meals served last year). The smallest age group served is between the ages of 60 and 64 (1,462 meals last year). We also served 8,265 meals to those age 85 and older. The total meals served to the over-60 crowd through our dining services for 2018 was 35,693.
Our clients benefit from our services in a number of ways. Our congregate meal program provides low cost nutritional support to the over-60 residents of Natrona County, especially those identified as "at-risk" through annual individual surveys. We provide quality activity programs and information & referrals for educational or self-help purposes. We offer assistance, assessment, and referral for those seeking home care services or respite care. We also provide weekly wellness clinics to screen for hypertension or other potential health problems and offer referrals to other services as required or requested.
