Each quarter, COA employees complete a service project that benefits older adults living in its five-county service area.
For its summer 2024 project, staff brought new life to community rooms in five senior living buildings. Often in these buildings, the community room is the heart of the building, where residents can join various enrichment activities and socialize with others. Most have a collection of games and other items residents can borrow or use right in the room.
Through the service project, COA staff collected and donated crafts, games, puzzles and books to replenish the supplies in community rooms at Hillcrest Elderly Apartments in Hamilton County, The Crossings at Amelia in Clermont County, West Friendship Acres in Clinton County, Harding House in Warren County and Belle Tower in Butler County.
Building residents shared with COA staff they were thrilled with the new activities and that they would enhance their daily lives.
