From staff reports
Beaufort County Parks and Recreation Department will launch the “60 & Better Program” beginning July 1. The $500,000 program will be a County-managed program that will provide much-needed services to seniors in our community.
“Lowcountry Council of Governments provided funding to implement a Senior Nutrition Program in Beaufort County,” said Chuck Atkinson, Assistant County Administrator – Development & Recreation Division. “With this opportunity, the Beaufort County Parks and Recreation Department developed a comprehensive County-managed program that will expand current services and provide the support the seniors in our community deserve.”
The 60 & Better Program will provide leisure activities, meal services (including home delivery), and special events designed to allow opportunities for education, social interaction, and physical/nutritional wellness, which will strengthen the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social well-being of older adults in our community.
Beaufort County Parks and Recreation plans on providing the 60 & Better Program at the following community centers: Bluffton Community Center, Burton Wells Senior Center, Port Royal Community Center, Booker T Washington Community Center (Seabrook/Yemassee), Scott Community Center (St. Helena), Leroy E. Browne Medical Center (St. Helena).
The Department plans to provide a wide variety of rotating daily, weekly, monthly, and annual programs and events.
