Message from Ethel Macleod Hart Senior Center
Greetings, Hart Senior Center friends:
Welcome back! The interior of the building is fresh and new, with a new coat of paint, new flooring, upgraded ADA amenities, and a reconfigured public counter. The new design actually brings the facility back to the mid-century style of the time it was constructed. The center was built in 1961 by the City of Sacramento, Department of Recreation and Parks as one of the first senior centers in California. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Hart Senior Center is a part of the City of Sacramento's
Department of Youth, Parks, &Community Enrichment
(better known as YPCE or Yippsy), once known simply as
"Parks & Rec". YPCE is updating its Master Plan to guide
us in identifying and carrying out the community’s vision
and priorities for services over the next 20 years!
- Using a combination of professional expertise and
public input, the Master Plan will help Sacramento
- Provide equitable and accessible parks and
recreation opportunities
- Evaluate and improve park conditions
and maintenance
- Expand recreation and community enrichment
programs to better serve all residents
- Support and empower youth in our communities

Caring Neighborhoods
A recent email received from the AARP Foundation announced that this coming Monday, September 28 is National Good Neighbor Day. This certainly is a day to take to heart during the pandemic, a lonely time for many of us. In fact, the Foundation is sponsoring the Good Neighbor Challenge, with great ideas for making sure that isolated neighbors have some connection to the outside world while sheltering at home. AARP Foundation Good Neighbor Challenge
For years, here in Sacramento, our Caring Neighborhoods Program has similarly encouraged residents to make connections with older people who are aging in place in our neighborhoods. Although efforts during the pandemic need to take social distancing into account, many of the strategies laid out on our Caring Neighborhoods Webpage are more important than ever. Check it out! If you're someone in need of a friendly phone call, let us know. Hart Senior Center staff are concerned about you and would look forward to giving you a call on a regular basis. Let us know by calling Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 5pm | (916) 808-5462.

Dementia Conversations- Driving, Doctor Visits, Legal and Financial Planning
Host: Alzheimer’s Association
Date/Time: May 14, 2021, online 1:00-2:30pm
Fee: FREE but must register
When someone is showing signs of dementia, it’s time to talk. Often, conversations with family about changing behaviors can be challenging and uncomfortable. This program provides tips for breaking the ice with your family so you can address some of the most common issues that are difficult to discuss: going to the doctor for a diagnosis or medical treatment, deciding when to stop driving, and making legal and financial plans for future care.

Effective Communication Strategies for Dementia
Host: Alzheimer’s Association
Date/Time: May 20, 2021
Fee: FREE but must register
Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease. The Effective Communication Strategies program of the Alzheimer’s Association was designed to provide practical information and resources to help dementia caregivers learn to decode verbal and behavioral messages from people with dementia.
