OCCOA is here to enhance and enrich the lives of older adults with a little assistance.

We believe that every senior citizen: is valuable; is entitled to a healthy, productive life; is entitled to a healthy, balanced diet; is entitled to activities that are challenging and stimulating; is entitled to fellowship and caring.

A special thank-you to A Safe Space Mentorship Project for spending time with our seniors and leading a wonderful art project!

The project gave our seniors an opportunity to express themselves, share their creativity, and enjoy meaningful connection with others. We’re grateful for community partners who help make these moments possible.

Falls are one of the leading reasons older adults lose their independence, and they are also among the most preventable. During Falls Prevention Awareness Week, a closer look around the house is one of the best things you can do, for yourself or for a senior you love:
▪️ Keep walkways clear and clutter-free
▪️ Secure or remove loose rugs
▪️ Brighten up the lighting in every room
▪️ Wear supportive, well-fitting shoes
▪️ Install and use sturdy handrails
▪️ Talk with your doctor about any balance concerns

Have questions or want to learn more about staying safe and active? Connect with us at www.orangeburgccoa.com/contact.

Alzheimer's and dementia touch so many families, and no one should have to walk that road alone. This September, we are joining communities everywhere for World Alzheimer's Month, with World Alzheimer's Day recognized on the 21st, to stand together in awareness, support, and understanding.

To every caregiver showing up with patience and love, and to every family navigating this journey, please know our community is here for you. We at OCCOA are working on an educational speaker session to support local families, and we will share details as soon as they are confirmed.

In the meantime, if you or a loved one could use support, reach out to us at 803-531-4663 or visit www.orangeburgccoa.com

This Healthy Aging Month, we are reminded that healthy aging does not require big, dramatic changes. It is built one small, steady step at a time, and those steps are easier with people in your corner.

Here are a few simple ways to start:
▪️ Move your body in a way that feels good in our free fitness center
▪️ Enjoy balanced, nutritious meals
▪️ Make new friends in our arts and crafts class
▪️ Join our Zumba class at 9:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help keep your body and mind sharp
▪️ Ask for help when you need it, because that is a strength

From exercise classes to fresh daily meals and recreational activities, we are here to help you take those steps. See what we offer at www.orangeburgccoa.com/what-we-provide-1.

Do you enjoy painting, crafting, sewing, decorating, or creating with your hands? OCCOA would love to have you volunteer at our Wellness Center!

Share your creative talents with local older adults by:
• Leading an art or craft activity
• Teaching a favorite project or skill
• Helping with seasonal decorations
• Inspiring others to create and connect

You only need to give one hour a month to make a meaningful difference. Let’s get you on the books!

Call us at 803-531-4663 to get started. 💙
