    STAY HOME, STAY SAFE order Still In Effect

    Though we all miss seeing you all, Groton Senior Center is still not open to the public to come inside.

    Due to the directives of the State of CT and Ledge Light Health District, we appreciate your patience while we work through the phases to reopen our center for all of you. At this time, Phase 2 of the reopening plan where persons 65 years and older and those with compromised immune systems are still under the STAY HOME – STAY SAFE order. Due to our center predominantly serving those 65 plus we are not opening our doors at this time. CT Senior Centers will be one of the last areas to open because of the population we serve and because there currently is no treatment or vaccine for the Corona Virus. Currently, it looks like the state will not recommend senior centers open until after September 1.

    We are however offering several classes virtually and some even outside now.  Come by and pick up a newsletter or look online at it https://www.ourseniorcenter.com/find/groton-senior-center

    Social isolation has a purpose though we know it is hard for you. Please contact the senior center staff so we can help you with ways to socialize online using computers, tablets or your smart phone and to stay busy.  860-441-6785
