Health - Lutheran Settlement House

Program Overview

The Senior Community Center offers programs focused on maintaining and improving physical and mental well-being. This includes group activities that range from healthy cooking classes to chair yoga and one-on-one support from a Health Advocate who works with members to set and achieve personal wellness goals.

For individuals who are 65 and older and live within Philadelphia, we can schedule transportation to LSH, medical appointments, and the grocery store or pharmacy, free of charge.
