ANNAPOLIS, MD — Anne Arundel County leaders said all seven senior activity centers in the county will resume full operations on Monday, July 19. Senior activity centers will operate Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and senior nutrition services will be available at each center.
"Our senior centers play an important role in our communities, offering socialization, recreation, nutrition, and education opportunities for older adults," said County Executive Steuart Pittman in a news release. "Creating a safe and healthy environment for senior activity center members has been our priority and we are pleased that we can finally resume full operations at our centers."
Center members will be able to visit the centers without any prior sign-up. Center members can participate in a number of structured programs, as well as resume self-directed socialization and recreation activities in each center.
These guidelines will be in place:
- Hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette will be promoted throughout the centers;
- Masks are encouraged for people who are not vaccinated;
- Food and drink will be permitted in all of the centers;
- A health self-assessment will be conducted upon arrival;
- Program capacity limits will resume pre-pandemic status, using room capacity limits as the only guide for the number of people in the room and/or center.
Residents should check with their health care provider to assess their individual risk to determine if they should access the center.
"We are so excited to welcome senior center members back to the centers five days a week," said Karrisa Kelly, director of the Department of Aging and Disabilities, in a news release. "We are very happy to restore our programs and services to pre-pandemic levels and know that many of our members share this sentiment."
All county senior activity centers have been open in a limited capacity since May 2021.
Center members are still able to continue to participate in interactive virtual programs which will be offered for center members who prefer this platform for activity participation.
