Regular weekly activities include walking groups, exercise classes, Get Fit workouts, line dancing, Zumba, bingo, crafts, games and a Family History Workshop. A new Creative Aging residency program with the Nevada Arts Council began Aug. 3 and meets Mondays and Thursdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Participants need only bring a camera or smartphone.

Monthly services include Medicare Made Easy, blood pressure and vaccine clinics, Care Chest medical supplies, Access to Healthcare, Produce on Wheels, grief and loss counseling, a Parkinson's support group and welfare assistance. Weekly trips to Reno and Carson City also are available.
