Orange County has opened a new Multicultural Senior Center inside the Orange County Multicultural Center, offering a shared space for older adults to stay active, build friendships and take part in programs that support healthy aging. The center adds to the county's existing services for older adults, including caregiver support, health and wellness resources, educational opportunities and recreational programming. A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked completion of the Multicultural Center's second phase.
The 17,000-square-foot facility includes arts and crafts spaces, game and meeting rooms, a multipurpose room, computer classes, health and wellness programs, educational workshops and recreational activities. It also houses the Orange County Office on Aging, which the county says makes it easier for residents to connect with services and community partners. According to the county, more than 208,000 residents aged 65 and older now live there.
Nicole Brown, program manager for the county's Office on Aging, said the center was created to give older adults more chances to connect with others, access services and remain physically, mentally and socially engaged. Tawra Lundy, a Central Florida resident for more than 40 years, said the Pine Hills facility gives older adults a place to learn new skills, explore technology and join arts and wellness programs. The county encourages older adults to visit the center and explore its programs.
