Alabama s senior centers reopen for indoor activities

Alabama’s elderly can now participate in more social activities. Senior centers are reopening for indoor gatherings under Governor Ivey’s Safer Apart Program. The meeting places provide essential services like meals and exercise classes to the elderly. The centers were previously open only for outdoor activities and to-go meals. Jean Brown is the Commissioner of Alabama Senior Services. She said COVID-19 has affected the mental health of Alabama’s elderly.   “We know that isolation can be very deadly. Isolation for seniors is something of great concern to me, and that’s why we’re so eager to safely return our seniors to their senior centers,” she said. 

Alabama senior centers given the clear to open

Following Governor Kay Ivey’s recent Safer Apart order on April 7, 2021, the Alabama Department of Senior Services announced on Monday Alabama senior centers may resume indoor activities starting April 19.  However, the decision to allow activities at the senior center was left to be made by each municipality s senior center manager. For example, a municipality may not have the resources, staffing or may otherwise be unprepared to reopen for activities.  Moreover, the Department of Senior Services has issued various guidelines for indoor activities in accordance with Gov. Ivey’s State Health Order.  DeKalb County Transportation and Council on Aging Director Emily McCamy said they received 42 pages of guidelines on Monday for review before reopening.
