Senior Happenings

By Senior Center Director Rita Harden

We are adding a few more activities at the center in the month of May. Do you like baking or eating pie? If so, drop by the center on Thursday May 20, 2021 at 1 pm, where we enjoy pie and visit, and play bingo or cards. If you have a birthday in May, please stop by the center on Thursday May 27 to visit and enjoy birthday cake.

On May 13th, we are planning to go to Wayside Campground at 11:30 am to enjoy a lunch from Somebody’s Momma’s Kitchen and enjoy the animals. From there we will travel out to O’Gorman’s to look at the baby goats. We are hoping for a beautiful day to be outside and enjoy nature!

We are planning a trip to Billings in June to visit the Moss Mansion and an Iris Garden farm. More details on this trip to come.

Currently activities that are happening at the center are: 500 card club, Quilt Club, crochet, and bingo. We are planning a monthly trip from May through September.

Have you heard about Options Counseling?

Options Counseling is defined as a person-centered, interactive, decision-support process whereby individuals are supported in their deliberations to make informed long-term support choices in the context of their own preferences, strengths, and values. The process provided by the Aging and Disability Resource Centers will include developing action steps toward a goal or a long term services and support plan, and, when requested, assistance in accessing supports options. It also includes follow-up with the individual. Options counseling is available to all persons regardless of their income or financial assets. For more information visit https://dphhs. mt.gov/ SLTC/aging/adrc/optionscounseling or call 436-2635 to schedule an appointment with Linda Wolff. Linda Wolff will be visiting Broadus on a quarterly basis unless she has 3 people who need to visit with her, then she can make a special trip.
