Fallbrook Senior Center reopens July 1

The Fallbrook Senior Center is reopening all activities beginning July 1, with a soft opening already begun on June 15. The senior center provides activities and lunches for Fallbrook and Bonsall residents aged 60 and over, which are daily beginning in July. The take-home lunch program will continue until Dec. 15 for those who wish to join or continue the program.

The activities the senior center offers range from physical activities, such as Chair Yoga, Senior Wellness, and Tai Chi, to mental activities such as Mah Jong and Chess. These classes generally begin at 8 a.m. and end by 2 p.m., with between three and six activities per day. From Line Dancing to Social Bridge, and Ukulele on Fridays, there is sure to be something for every senior to enjoy.

The lunches the senior center provides begin at 11:15 a.m., Monday through Friday. These lunches include many varieties of food, including turkey, Fish Veracruz, teriyaki chicken skewers, and baked ham. These meals are regulated by the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, and are approved by the county. The entire meal program is run by volunteers which are all certified food handlers.

The soft opening that began in June included the Line Dancing class. This class provides seniors with the opportunity to do both a physical and mental activity – remembering the dances and performing them. This activity was the first to reopen due to the ability to social distance and the smaller class size, compared to the Beginners Line Dancing class. All dances can be modified for mobility in whatever manner needed.

Masks are required for those who are not vaccinated. Beginning in July, all activities will be able to return to normal, with new classes added. For the cost and more information, visit fallbrookseniorcenter.com or call 760-728-4498.
