The Jackson County Council on Aging is a non-profit organization with the goal of helping the elderly lead more active, independent lives. Persons of varied income levels are served, and donations are accepted for those services that do not have a set fee.
Senior Center
The Jackson County Senior Center, located in Jackson County Park, provides a variety of educational, recreational, and health-related activities. Exercise classes, exercise equipment, checkers, cards, shuffleboard, ping pong, dominoes, luncheons and men's breakfasts are offered on a regular basis. Crafts, speakers, dances, classes, health fairs and income tax preparation are offered periodically.
Congregate Meals
Six nutrition centers provide recreation, socialization, health information, exercise, and low-cost noon meals Monday through Friday for persons 60 years of age or older and their spouse, regardless of age.
Home Delivered Meals
A limited number of well balanced, hot meals are delivered to homebound elderly by volunteers. Persons over 60 who are unable to prepare a meal, do not have anyone in the home to prepare a meal for them and who cannot leave home to attend a nutrition center are eligible if a meal is available.
