Senior Center
What is the Senior Center?
One of the key characteristics of a caring community is how it provides for its senior citizens. The Town of Wheatland Senior Center is located in the Wheatland Municipal Building at 22 Main Street in Scottsville and is designed specifically for the enjoyment and leisure of the mature adult population, ages 60 years and above (and their spouse of any age).
What services does the Senior Center offer?
Recreational, social, educational and health-related programs, activities and services are offered in a warm and friendly environment that are intended to help senior citizens maintain their independence in the community. This includes a lunchtime hot meal program. A monthly News Letter highlights upcoming schedule of activities. See Senior Center FAQs for answers to common inquiries.
