BRICK TOWNSHIP SENIOR SERVICES AND CENTER – Making a positive difference in the lives of our Senior Residents by improving access to health, education, social and supportive services thereby helping them live with dignity and independence:

Our Senior Services Program welcomes all residents age 60 and older to participate in our many programs. We provide information and assistance on many important issues that our seniors face today – Medicare, RX coverage, Medical Transportation, Nutrition, Health Screenings, Home Care, Property Tax.  At your request, we will conduct a one on one session with you to determine if you are eligible for government assistance programs and assist with the completion of these applications to help you obtain the help you need.

Our Community Café offers a hot meal Mondays and Wednesdays. If you need transportation the Brick Senior Shuttle takes our seniors shopping, to medical appointments and to the Senior Center.

Referrals under the Caregiver Support Program can be provided to a family member or any unpaid individual who is caring for an elderly adult 60 years of age or older. This may be a spouse, parent, friend or neighbor. If you are helping with food shopping, transportation, preparing meals, housecleaning, managing medication or other tasks, then you are a Caregiver! Contact us for resources available that may assist you in caring for your loved one.

Whether you are interested in socializing or getting fit, learning new things or staying healthy, the Brick Senior Outreach Center has something for everyone! If you are interested in art and literature we offer painting, arts and crafts and creative writing “Putting Pen to Paper” sessions.  Those passionate about reading can participate in our monthly book club, “The Book Nook”.  At our “Multicultural Explorations Club”, you learn about the different cultures and traditions around the world. For those that enjoy physical activities, then our fitness classes may fit your needs. We offer Zumba, Aerobics, Tai Chi, Strength building and Yoga. If you enjoy dancing our line dancing group is a fun way to get fit.  Bring water and wear comfortable clothing as you work at your own pace. We also have speakers of a variety of topics scheduled monthly.

Senior Services offers Project Icebox as a way help older residents in the event of a medical emergency.  All participants in the program will receive a magnetic holder that is placed on the refrigerator.  Participants place emergency information including medical history, medications and contact info.  In the event of an emergency, Brick Police, Brick EMS and other emergency personnel will be able to utilize the information in the event you cannot communicate with them.  All participants will receive a window sticker that tells emergency responders that you are a Project Icebox household.  The program is free.  For more information, please call Senior Outreach Services at 732-920-8686.
