Our Vision/Mission
Senior New Ways is
a public benefit
501 (C) (3) organization developing and offering support, programs, and activities
to “boomers and beyond”,
and adult children and caregivers of elders in one-on-one or
group
settings
in public and private venues, in northern and central
California, and throughout the world.
At Senior New Ways,
our focus is on seniors
living
at home or
in assisted living
situations.
Elders come away from
our programs and activities
with the attitude:
"There IS hope as I grow older. Aging isn’t so bad."
About Us
In our seventh year, Senior New Ways Inc. is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that provides unique individual and group programs to enhance the community, life purpose and meaning, and whole health of seniors.
We reach out to local communities by teaching home visitors to promote health and well-being for their clients.
By working with local services agencies and senior centers,
retirement
communities, healthcare providers and communities of faith, we
create strong, caring community.
We help thousands of elders and their visitors and caregivers, and we promise to give each person who comes in contact with us individualized attention, respect, valuable information, understanding and support.
Our staff is our Executive Director, John W. Lehman, site/class scheduling personnel, an experienced teaching team, a Board of Directors and Board of Trustees, and a staff of volunteers.
Our Approach
Senior New Ways provides approximately 100 programs from 45 minutes to 1½ hours covering every aspect of aging, whole health, current events and issues, one-on-one visits/ interviews and opportunities. These programs are mainly for at-home active and assisted living seniors. There is special training and support for visitors and children/caregivers. Classes are formed into related groups, and the suite of classes results in the formation of groups for the long term.
Our Philosophy
Senior New Ways believes that elders are the jewels of humanity. We
help older adults lead happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
They have been polished by the trials and
tribulations, joys and successes of their lives, and they have much
precious wisdom to be shared with each other and the rest of us.
We also encourage older adults to be aware of the life still left in
them. This involves changing their perceptions and the perception in
family and community.
We help older adults develop healthier lifestyles,
and support those who give care to our older adults.
