“What I loved about working with the seniors is that you suddenly appreciate what you have in life.  The material things don’t seem so important anymore.” - Shelli Boeniger, former Capital City Senior Program Director“When I first starting going to the Senior Center, I was surprised how personable and friendly it was. Everyone knows everyone else. It’s very close and friendly. It’s nice just to walk in and to be able to say ‘hi’ to everyone and hear them say ‘hi’ back.” – Linda, Senior Center member

Capital City Community Centers is dedicated to increasing the health, wellness and socialization of senior citizens in Providence.  We operate the Lillian Feinstein Senior Center located at 1085 Chalkstone Avenue, Providence, a facility that  serves approximately 300 seniors from the Smith Hill, Valley, Mount Pleasant, Wanskuck and Elmhurst neighborhoods.  The seniors engaged in this program often have unmet health needs and benefit tremendously from the free health screenings and prevention information we provide.  We provide seniors with meals (through Meals on Wheels), case management services, trips and other recreational activities.  The Center consistently seeks to grow our membership by outreaching to new seniors through local organizations, pharmacies, hospitals and current members.  All programs and services are designed to promote optimal health and wellness and opportunities for socialization with peers, and are available to those from all income levels. 

Capital City Senior Programs’ Center is open to the public from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday for health and wellness programs, healthy meals, fun exercise and educational programs and recreational activities.  Membership is $10 per year, although membership is not required to take part in Center activities (small program fees may apply).  For information on membership or programs and services, call 455-3888.
