Cabarrus Afton Active Living Center: Creating a Space for Everyone to Enjoy

Recently, we spoke with Heather Frick the Program Supervisor at the Afton Active Living Center to hear more about her job, how her work impacts the community and the importance of the County's Active Living Centers. Our Active Living Centers are the primary locations where older adults come together. They are a place to receive client services/outreach and participate in a wide range of programs and services for older adults, adults with disabilities and their caregivers: -Gather to meet friends for a game of cards, billiards, shuffleboard and more -Participate in a variety of classes and clubs -Enjoy dances, holiday celebrations, health screenings and special events The centers coordinate several wellness programs funded by the Older Americans Act and Cabarrus County. These programs encourage an active and healthy lifestyle for older adults by promoting total wellness and allowing clients to remain independent. Cabarrus uses a "person centered" approach to provide services and support to residents. This philosophy preserves the dignity of each individual, while minimizing institutional care. The centers partner with other agencies. This partnership ensures clients receive all the available services and support they need.
