Senior Enrichment Services of Oberlin offers programs and
activities that are designed to stimulate mental and physical exercises
that really foster an enriching experience to older adults in Lorain
County. Activities include but are not limited to bowling, quilting,
bingo, line dancing, weekly lunch gatherings and even excursions
to Amish Country. One of the most popular activities is the Loom
program which is subsidized by general Center and Socialization
funding. There is no fee to participate, the supplies are generally
donated. Looming has been an integral program of the center for
decades and more notably since it’s really a lost art. During the
summer, school age and college students as well as grandchildren
of participants are often seen socializing and learning with our
community’s elders. Activities are often intergenerational friendly.
Neighborhood Alliance also helps connect seniors to the benefits of
programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Home Energy programs,
Homestead Exemption and Golden Buckeye Cards. In an effort to
keep seniors independent, we work with other organizations to
provide repair and maintenance assistance to ensure safe housing.

Thank you for your support to institutions like the
Senior Enrichment Services of Oberlin . I came to the
United States in 1998 to be near my 3 children in my old
age . My country of origin is Columbia (South America)
and today I am a legal citizen of this wonderful
country. In the senior center I have found a place that
I can call home . Here I was taught to weave by the best
teacher I could have , Frank Serazin . I also enjoy
socializing with wonderful people , enjoying so much the
gatherings, pot-lucks, picnics, craft bazaars, and art shows.
At present I look forward to the lunches on Mondays and
playing cards or scrabble whenever my health conditions
allows me to do so. Please keep supporting our Oberlin
Senior Center. It is so good for us old people .
