Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Geriatric Case Management
The Geriatric Case Management Program offers individualized assessment, care plan development and on-going monitoring for seniors who are frail and primarily homebound. The goal is to enable seniors to live safely, and with dignity, in their own homes.
Naples Senior Center Food Pantry
The Naples Senior Center Food Pantry is open daily, Monday through Friday. Shelves are stocked with non-perishable items through generous donations from the community and through a partnership with the Harry Chapin Food Bank. The pantry is open to residents of Collier and southern Lee Counties. This is a "choice" pantry, where individuals come in a select their items. Appointments are required to allow one person/family at a time to come in, thereby protecting their confidentiality, and dignity.
The Senior Center
The Senior Center provides a place where older adults can meet with their peers for socialization and activities. Programs include a weekly hot lunch, art classes, discussion groups, wellness activities, gardening music, cards/Maj Jongg and on-site social service delivery.
Dementia Respite Support
Naples Senior Center offers weekly support groups for individuals with early to mid-stage dementia in Naples and Marco Island. Each group meets weekly for four hours. The program is affiliated with the Brookdale Foundation’s National Group Respite Program and provides socialization and wellness with a holistic approach to everyday challenges and living. The focus of the groups is on language skills, memory techniques, relaxation techniques, socialization and self-esteem. The program includes Dakim Brain Fitness, which is designed to help users strengthen attention, focus and concentration. Groups perform activities that enhance social skills and assist in recall and language skills.
Participants work with a board-certified music therapist, thanks to a partnership with the Department of Music Therapy at the Florida Gulf Coast University Bower School of Music. A licensed art therapist engages participants on creative ways to overcome cognitive challenges.
Comprehensive Caregiver Support Program
Naples Senior Center offers comprehensive support programs for caregivers of family members with dementia. Services include weekly support groups, monthly educational programs, quarterly intensive 4-hour seminars, family socialization activities, a Facebook page and individual counseling. Services are provided by credentialed social workers.
