Community Spring and April Birthday Celebration
The Pagosa Senior Center is excited to continue to host monthly seasonal and birthday celebrations for community members of all ages! Fostering social bonds between older adults and community members of all ages is vital. Celebrating the Spring season with small gestures of connection and compassion can significantly improve emotional well-being, reduce loneliness, and promote a sense of belonging among our community. If you have an April birthday and/or want to join in a low-key, informal Spring celebration, come join us Thursday afternoon, April 17, 2025, from 1:15 to 2:15pm in the dining hall at the Ross Aragon Community Center, 451 Hot Springs Blvd. We’ll have treats, games, music and opportunities for meaningful connections.
Come experience Pagosa love and help us build and strengthen systems of community care. Our community celebrations at the Pagosa Senior Center are intergenerational, so everyone is welcome. Supplies are limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early! For more details and updates about these monthly events, please visit our website at www.psseniors.org or call 970-264-2167.

Monthly Caregiver Support Group
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first caregiver support gathering last Thursday. If you are caring for a family member or friend with physical/mental disability, emotional health needs, or cognitive decline; this group was created for you. This group is not limited to only caregivers of older adults. Caregivers of all types are welcome. This group offers a safe, welcoming space for caregivers seeking connection, empathy, and encouragement. Whether you’re looking for understanding during difficult times or just need a community to lean on, we’re here for you.
These sessions will also offer educational resources to grow you in the knowledge and skill to strengthen self care, to care for your loved ones and empower you to navigate your role as a caregiver; one day at a time. The next gathering will be on April 24 at the Ross Aragon Community Center in the West Conference Room from 10:30am to 12 noon. If you have questions or would like to be added to our announcement list, please contact Yeun Fiedler at (970) 946-5810, or Madeline Sutton at (970) 507-1574.
