SCV Senior Center: Online — July 15, 2020

On this episode of The Senior Hour with Dr. Gene Dorio and Barbara Cochran, Suzanne Nelson and Natalie Soto of the SCV Senior Center join the show to talk about the events the Senior Center has been hosting online and while seniors are picking up meals. They offer drive-thru entertainment for people picking up meals with concerts and performances that feature local dance studios, artists, choirs, and other local performers. The Senior Center has even transitioned a ton of their in-person classes to online videos and sessions that people can tune in live to. From educational classes to fitness classes to emotional support, the Senior Center is creating amazing online content that can be helpful for everyone, not just seniors. Suzanne and Natalie talk about how now is the perfect to help connect a senior to the Internet so they can access these wonderful classes to stay involved while so many remain isolated due to Covid-19.
