My sister and I laugh at the idea that they have more going on than we do as we shelter in place at home! It is very reassuring for us to know that they are safe, having fun and well taken care of " – Cathi Hill & Susan House "The family has been very happy with how Dominican Oaks has handled the COVID pandemic... It has not been easy for anyone, but knowing Mom is in a safe place and away from the virus has meant everything to our family.

Elderday Adult Day Health Care, Lift Line and Meals on Wheels not only meet the nutritional and medical needs of seniors, but fight isolation and keep seniors connected to their community. Elderday Adult Day Health Care offers high-quality day services for adults with complex medi- cal conditions. This supportive community allows participants to stay independent and in their homes for as long as possible, while giving family members and caregivers well-deserved respite. During the pandemic the program adopted a new system of remote services for participants to meet their physical and men- tal health needs and help them stay out of institutional facilities. To receive services please visit community- bridges.org/elderday or call (831) 458-3481. In addition, a new program was developed with several community partners to meet the needs of seniors staying at home. The Senior Center With- out Limits is a free on- line program that brings enrichment activities like yoga, art, music and support groups to seniors in their homes at no cost. It overcomes the digital divide to connect seniors to their community, engage in activities to improve cognitive processes and combat isolation. Low income seniors can receive a free tablet to help them join classes and stay connected. 2,700 classes were conducted in 2020! The Senior Center Without Limits is a partnership with Community Bridg- es, the City of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Parks and the City of Wat- sonville.
