Current Ongoing Programs
The Northfield Senior Center is taking the pandemic COVID-19 virus seriously. The population we serve is potentially more at risk. We are trying to softly reopen for fully vaccinated people. Meals on Wheels will still be delivered. For those who generally attend congregate meals at the Center and still wish a meal for any day, you may do so as a take out or now eat in. PLEASE call the Center at 485-8112 before 9:00 am. Again, We will continue to deliver MOW to our clients but Some other activities and events are canceled. We are trying to serve our fully vaccinated recipients. Exceptions are Foot Clinic. This has to be on an appointment basis. Call in if you wish to attend. We can only have a small number of spaces open at this time, so call in to join.
If you have further concerns, please reach out to us. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please use the front door when you enter the building. If you are picking up your ordered meal rap on the back door and we will bring it to you.
THANK- YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

SEPTEMBER IS FALLS PREVENTION MONTH But we still want to prevent fall at all times. Good tips.
Take these steps to help prevent accidental falls:
- Talk to your health care provider about any past falls, even if they did not lead to an injury.
- Review your medications and any side effects. Consider Vitamin D supplements.
- Have your vision and hearing checked annually and update eyeglasses and hearing aids as needed.
- Get moving! Try Tai Chi and other activities proven to improve balance and strength.
- Assess your home environment. You can reduce your fall risk by removing trip hazards, improving lighting, installing handrails and grab bars, and taking extra care aroundpets that may be underfoot.
