Senior Center is Temporarily Closed for Our Move to Barbur!

Our temporary closure date has been confirmed: The Senior Center will be closed starting September 5th to allow for a smooth transition into our beautiful new space. While we know this temporary closure may cause some disruption, we’re working hard to ensure our community stays connected and supported throughout the move.

Right now, our plan is to reopen after we have transitioned into our new building, with a mid-November goal.

Senior Center and Transportation Program

Researchers have studied for years the health benefits of “social capital” – the ties that bind trust, connection, and participation – and how important social capital is for seniors. As we age, we retire from jobs, lose friends and spouses, and see family members move out of the area – all of which reduce daily social contacts, which affects mental and physical health.

Neighborhood House recognizes the importance that social capital has on our lives. Our Senior Center and Transportation Program keep older adults and people with disabilities connected to needed assistance and the community. We promote active and healthy lifestyles for seniors and assist them to live independently, offering services to enhance life socially, physically, and intellectually, with an emphasis on promoting choice and dignity.

A variety of activities, classes and services for older adults

Our Senior Center offers a wide range of educational, recreational, social, and health improvement activities for an annual membership fee of $50 per person.

We also provide the following services at the Senior Center:

Monthly foot-care clinic provided by a naturopathic doctor (ND).
Free half-hour visits with a Senior Law Project attorney.
Free help with Medicare choices and health care programs.
and many more!

MEET A NEIGHBOR

MULOK

Sedighe “Mulok” Sherifi comes to the Senior Center four times a week and often takes the shopping shuttle to the grocery store to buy food as well. Mulok doesn’t drive, and in order to get out of her house and socialize with friends, she considers the Senior Center her lifeline. “I love everybody here,” she says. “It’s like my second home.” She moved from her native Iran about 30 years ago and now feels connected and supported at the Senior Center.

Transportation Service

Our Transportation Program gets you where you need to go — and where you want to go.

Volunteer drivers provide door-to-door shuttle service for older adults and people with disabilities, assisting with medical appointments and errands, while group trips to WinCo and Trader Joe’s keep your refrigerator fully stocked.

We also plan regular “field trips” on the Neighborhood House shuttle bus to help you take advantage of everything Portland has to offer: tourist hot-spots, local restaurants, and nearby towns.
