On May 1, 2005 the Greater Bloomfield Senior Association (GBSA) became the newest department to serve Bloomfield Township residents. Formerly known as Mature Minglers (1972-2002), the GBSA brings over 30 years of experience serving seniors in our community. Our mission remains:

Providing services that support well being and independence.

Enriching lives with learning opportunities.

Building community.

Our supportive services are often fundamental in assisting elderly residents to remain in their homes and our community. It is well known that an ill or disabled person’s quality of life and quality of care are generally much better in their own home. We offer home delivered meals, liquid nutritional supplements, home chore and safety, telephone reassurance, information and referrals, support groups, medical transportation, health and wellness information and screening, as well as many volunteer opportunities. In September, 2006, we plan to provide adult day care.

Wellness through engagement in enrichment opportunities is truly necessary for people at every level of health and ability. Our lifelong learning and interactive opportunities offered to 50+ residents stimulate the mind and the body. Classes include: drawing and painting, beginning computer classes through selling on eBay, 50+ strength training, Tai Chi, yoga, aerobics, health education, volunteer work, current events, book discussions, various card games, billiards, bridge, lapidary, poker, Italian group, movies, bowling and golf leagues. There are 90+ day trips annually and some extended travel.
