The City is in the process of visiting various senior centers throughout Ventura County, senior housing facilities and attending senior events to gather residents’ comments and other valuable information on ways to enhance Fillmore’s Active Adult community’s experience at the Senior Center.

• Staff has identified over 75 new programs to incorporate over time into the senior center’s programming covering the following areas - arts and crafts, music, leisure activities, education, health, and performances by outside groups.

• Staff is reviewing proposals to make improvements to the facility’s restrooms.

• City Council will consider at its February 24th meeting, the creation and establishment of an Active Adult Commission. The Commission will make recommendations on the best way to operate the Senior Center to maximize its usage to the greatest extent possible among other items.

• Public meetings are being scheduled in March to receive additional feedback from the active adult community on the programs and services they would like to see offered.

• The City is considering rebranding the Senior Center to represent our vibrant, diverse and active adult community.

The City enjoys working with everyone as we move forward with enhancing the Senior Center and continuing to show everyone why Fillmore is the “Last Best Small Town.”
