Prime Timers Senior Social Club

On Tuesday, December 12th from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Prime Timers Senior Social Club will meet for the first time ever!

Benefits of socialization for seniors– A lack of social interaction can have profound and detrimental effects on a senior citizen. Socialization has been proven to increase longevity, improve quality of life, and reduce cognitive decline. Even cardiovascular health can improve through routine social interactions.

Staying socially active can become difficult over the lifespan, especially for those without family nearby. The good news is that you are never too old to meet new people and make new friends, and that’s where Prime Timers comes into play.

About Prime Timers Senior Social Club – Available for free to members and nonmembers, the goal of Prime Timers Senior Social Club is to provide a social and physical outlet for senior members of the community. Staff will lead participants through a variety of activities including social hour, lunch, crafts, games, and physical fitness. All activities have been carefully planned to allow for accommodations that make this event accessible to seniors of all ages and abilities. Participation is voluntary; no one will be required to participate in an activity they would prefer to sit out entirely.

An RSVP is required for those wishing to participate in the free light lunch. Walk-ins are welcome to the event, but they are not guaranteed lunch. RSVPs can be submitted at the front desk or by phone.

Worried about the long walk from the parking lot? Transportation via golf cart will be available to and from the parking lot for this event only. To receive this service, you must park in one of the designated Prime Timers parking spots. Transportation to and from Elison of Maplewood will be provided to residents.

Check with your insurance – Some insurance providers offer discounted or free gym memberships to seniors. Reach out to your insurance company to see if you are eligible for programs such as Silver Sneakers or Renew Active, both of which are accepted by The Bridge. Become a member so you don’t have to wait until the next Prime Timers event to return to The Bridge!
