| Community
and Senior Services: |
The
Community & Senior Services Division is
housed at the Jack Crippen Multipurpose Senior
Center, which is a one-stop multipurpose center
and focal point where services provided by licensed
professional staff, volunteers, and outside
agencies are available.
The
division’s goal is to help individuals’
age in place by providing valuable services
at the Multi-Purpose Senior Center and in the
home. The Center is open to anyone 50 years
of age or older but certain activities and services
have age restrictions. Adult education and Bingo
are open to anyone over 18 years of age.
Lunch is served 11:30 AM Monday through
Friday with a suggested donation of $2.00 for
those 60 years of age and older. Care management
services are available to functionally impaired
individuals 18 years of age and over who need
assistance in obtaining services that will allow
them to remain safely in their homes. Information
& assistance helps individuals resolve a
wide array of problems by referring them to
community resources, which can help them with
their problem or acting as
an advocate to resolve certain problems. Free
educational classes, seminars, health screenings,
and advocacy services are held on a regular
basis.
The
Los Angeles County Department of Senior and
Community Services has designated the City of
El Monte Senior Center as a focal point on aging
for the dissemination of multi-purpose information
about services available to older adults in
the community. As such the Jack Crippen Multipurpose
Senior Center has become a highly visible and
accessible facility where everyone can obtain
information and has access to a variety of services
ranging from leisure programs, health care,
nutrition, legal advice, social services and
consumer advocacy. For families, the center
serves as a focal point and resource that supports
their efforts in caring for an aging relative
or friend.
The
Jack Crippen Senior Center / Community &
Senior Services Division is committed to serving
as a hub in the community spotlighting its concern
for its older adults.

| Aquatics:
|
The
Aquatic Center has introduced many exciting
opportunities for the City of El Monte this
year. This being, the ability of offering aquatic
programs on a year round basis. It has been
very rewarding for us to witness not only the
continued support of our lesson program, but
also the growing enthusiasm our new classes
(i.e. scuba, water and floor aerobics, and lap
swimming) have encountered. If you haven't had
the chance to participate in one of our program
offerings, you don't have to wait until next
summer! Stop by and enjoy all the benefits and
fun of water sports, without the temperaments
of the weather, in a beautiful heated indoor
pool.
