“Our Decatur County Senior Center, located at 402 West Water Street, serves meals to our clients daily at 12 noon, and we also have health and nutrition education and an annual health fair,” Gardner said. “We also have legal information, an emotional support group and blood pressure checks.”

Gardner said that the center welcomes all citizens ages 60 and over and they enjoy bingo, board games and card games.

“Our slogan at the SOWEGA Council on Aging is living longer, living stronger and living safer,” Gardner continued,” Gardner said. “Our mission is to coordinate a system of services that promote the wellbeing and independence of older and disabled Georgians, helping them achieve healthy and self-sufficient lives.”
