The Folsom Senior Center, sited at 48 Natoma Street, provides a wide range of programs and services. Open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, anyone over 55 is welcome to visit; Folsom residency is not a requirement.

A rotating schedule of free activities take place in the lounge, including games, movies, book discussions, bridge, and a popular “Off-Key Singers” group that meets Monday and Friday. The lounge maintains a stock of books, magazines, board games, and puzzles for those who want to engage in quiet activities.

The Folsom Senior Citizens Club welcomes new members to its meetings twice a month for lunch, games, and occasional guest speakers. 

Meals on Wheels provides a hot lunch at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday (with prior reservation); seniors can also bring a sack lunch to enjoy the mealtime companionship and conversation.

A variety of classes—some free and others fee-based—are available as well, including fine arts, ceramics, yoga, Zumba Gold, interval training, mobility and flexibility programs, “Walk and Talk” guided trail walks, driver’s safety, and guitar lessons. Free educational workshops on topics like Social Security planning, health care management, caregiver assistance, and identity theft prevention are available throughout the year, too. 

On August 24 at 11:30 a.m., a Hot August Nights Party will feature games, live entertainment, and light refreshments.
