Friendly Center Club

150 W. Illinois Avenue, Aurora, Illinois ● 630-859-8606 ● Directions

Well beyond being a hot spot for inspiring active adult programs and activities, Prisco Community Center is the home of the Friendly Center Club, an interactive group that meets on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (except on luncheon days). Each week, social adults gather to talk, enjoy snacks, and play games. The club also hosts a monthly themed luncheon. The club was founded in 1951 by John A. Lippold, who saw the need and opportunity for a way for like-minded active adults to be connected and active. We hope that you’ll join us!

    Maintaining good health and enjoying a balanced diet can be quite a task as we age. Nutrition plays a crucial role in the well-being of senior citizens. A well-rounded and rich diet ensures seniors have the essential nutrients for optimal bodily function. Moreover, healthy eating habits can significantly reduce the risk of age-related ailments like osteoporosis, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. 

    To assist seniors and their families, Caring.com created a guide that explains what older people need to eat and how to overcome diet challenges. It gives meal planning advice and talks about food options in senior living. It also has tips on food safety and where seniors can find nutritious food. View the Nutrition Guide here.

    A Guide to Support Caregivers of Seniors with Dementia

    Caring for a loved one is a noble and fulfilling endeavor but can also be challenging and demanding. According to a study by the Alzheimer’s Association, taking care of a person with dementia is more demanding than caring for an elderly individual without memory issues. 80% of dementia patients are managed in their homes, often by family members who aren’t professional caregivers.To assist caregivers, we’ve developed a guide that focuses on maintaining your well-being while caring for someone with dementia. This guide also offers advice on caring for individuals in the early stages of dementia, practical ways to find support, and recognizing when it’s time to seek external assistance.Click here to learn more.
