About Us
The L.I.F.E. Center was established in 1978 as an activity of Soroptimist International of Rocklin/Loomis.
Our center provides a pleasant atmosphere where seniors over 55 years of age can enjoy leisure through social and educational activities with peers. We are men and women over 55 years of age who join together to enjoy each other’s company, share our joys and sorrows, play table games, work on crafts, participate in an exercise program and at noon sit down together to enjoy a nutritious lunch.
The Loomis Senior L.I.F.E. Center was presented with the “2018 Non-Profit of the Year Award” by the Loomis Chamber of Commerce and has received recognition from the Town of Loomis, the Loomis Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Soroptimist International of Loomis Basin.
The Value of Senior Centers
Senior centers have become the focus of activities that improve and enhance the lives of their participants or members. From card or board games that engage the mind to “stretch and flex” classes that exercise the body, more and more seniors are finding that community-based programs offer more than just socialization.
Entertainment such as musicians, magicians or other performers (e.g., Hawaiian Senior Hula Dancers) and lectures on health, finances, legal issues, civic involvement and safety round out the Center offerings.
Researchers at leading institutions around the country have found that maintaining mental acuity is the key to a longer, happier life. Although mental acuity may decline slightly with age, studies are showing that physical as well as mental exercises can help.
