Our commitment to helping seniors includes programs that promote better health. We offer nutritious meals, health screenings, exercise programs and prescription drug assistance that can help seniors save money. For information, click on the services listed below or call one of our Intake Specialists at 757-461-9481.

• Group Dining
  Seniors enjoy going to our Wellness Centers for many reasons: the recreational classes, wellness programs, fun activities – and the chance to socialize with fellow seniors over a hot, delicious mid-day meal. A typical lunch might include chicken with mashed potatoes, a salad, a fresh fruit dessert and milk. These meals are available five days a week to people age 60 and older and their spouses. Group dining is also extended to disabled persons who reside with (and accompany to the center) an eligible member, as well as the volunteers who assist with these meals.
  
  Fee: Suggested voluntary contribution based on income and a sliding fee scale.
  
  Reservations: To reserve your meals, call the Nutrition Center (link to listing) nearest you. Also, let them know if you need transportation to and from the center. The Nutrition Center will make arrangements with Senior Services for your ride and will let you know when it has been scheduled.
  
   

• Health Education and Screening
  If you need help managing your medications, checking your blood pressure or Diabetes, please give us a call. Through the Department of Public Health, Senior Services works with registered nurses who can help you with your medical decisions. We also offer group programs and screenings at Senior Centers and Recreation Centers, as well as individual screenings in your own home.
  
  No Fee: This is a free service.
  
  For information on dates, times and locations of programs and screenings, call 757-461-9481.

• Prescription Drug Assistance
  If you know of someone who needs help paying for their medicines, Senior Services can help. Our education staff will assist you in finding the best discount drug programs available, whether you wish to enroll for Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits or want to learn more about The Pharmacy Connection that helps qualified individuals receive free medicines from participating pharmaceutical companies.
  
  We will screen you for all options when you call. In some cases, beneficiaries can use a combination of programs. Call or stop by our Norfolk headquarters Monday through Friday; from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome.
