What we aim to solve
Centrally located in the hamlet of Oyster Bay, we offer active seniors a wide variety of programs and services, including exercise, lunch, transportation, social services, activities, health and wellness programs, and socialization. Open Monday through Friday, our Center is a cornerstone making a vibrant impact for seniors in the community.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To provide seniors with daily activities to ease isolation and maintain a longer lifespan through good health.
To provide seniors with evening opportunities, especially if they are still in the work force.
To provide frail and memory-impaired seniors with a targeted program to aid in their well-being.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our daytime program offers a broad range of services suited for active adults 60+. Many seniors come to the Center to socialize and share a nutritious meal with friends, and transportation services are available. There is a central focus on health and wellness, so a wide variety of exercise classes and lectures are offered to maintain fitness. Exercise is important for this population and our extensive classes are customized to accommodate many levels of mobility. Programs also include entertainment, educational classes, health screenings, comprehensive social services and caregiver support. There are no membership fees. Donations are collected anonymously and no senior is ever denied a service due to lack of contribution.
Our evening programs offer customized activities for older adults who are looking to get out for an evening. Activities include Strength Training, Pilates, Yoga, Cooking Demos, Open Mic Night, watercolor painting, social mixers and much more, all at a nominal cost.
In addition, a social model adult day care program was established to meet the needs of frail and memory-impaired seniors and their families. This “Day Break” program provides quality, cost effective therapeutic services to functionally-impaired seniors in a warm and welcoming setting at a daily rate, Monday through Friday.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Life Enrichment Center offers a balance of health and wellness programs, nutrition, transportation, social services, activities and socialization. We have several full-time and part-time staff serving seniors' needs, including a program director and an assistant, a transportation service coordinator, a kitchen manager and assisting staff, and several administrative staff, overseen by an executive director. Numerous volunteers also assist in the day-to-day workings of our Center.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Programs and services include: Socialization; activities and entertainment; a congregate lunch program; transportation to and from the Center for communities in our area; comprehensive Social Service programs; non-emergency medical and dental transportation service; medical screenings and consultation; a full range of wellness, health and fitness programs; a social model Adult Day Care program for the memory-impaired elderly; a caregiver support group; a weekly shoppers bus; a fitness center; a clothing thrift shop; local trips and tours; Information and assistance; a food pantry; a library and computer stations; social support groups.
We are developing a technology education series in 2020 for our senior members employing a Smart Board in our main hall, investigating an expansion of our thrift shop to include additional services for our members and the larger community, looking to broaden our lunch offerings to include more vegetarian and vegan options, and diversifying our evening programs to have a wider level of involvement with the community.
