Senior Citizens

There are a wide variety of opportunities and resources for senior citizens in Davis.

Many activities occur in the Davis Senior Center or under the auspices of the non-profit group Senior Citizens of Davis, Inc. The first Tuesday of each month there is a potluck (or $5 donation) meal with entertainment plus a raffle. All ages are welcome and the events usually have 60-80 people. Special yearly events include an annual St. Patrick's party, a Hawaiian Luau in August and a Holiday Dinner and Dance in December.

Older Americans Month is celebrated by local groups.

Davisville Apartments provides affordable housing to low income seniors age 62 and older. The Elderly Nutrition Program provides a meal every weekday at noon.

Rebuilding Together Sacramento helps to remodel homes to make them more livable for those who need ramps, hand rails and other adaptations.

UC Davis provides a helpful website listing local area and regional resources.

At each Nugget store there is a drop box supporting various senior causes, including the Davis Senior Center. Put your receipt in there and Nugget donates.

Does anybody know what kind of employment opportunities exist for Senior Citizens in Davis? Employment numbers broken down by age should be available and could be compared to surrounding areas. SCoD Inc. might also be able to provide information on this topic.
