Health & Wellness Classes
DOROT’s exercise and wellness classes, created for older adults who can benefit from a wide range of low-impact options, help with physical and emotional well-being. Participants credit these programs with inspiring them to stay fit and active, and engaged within the community.
Legacy Arts Workshops
DOROT’s Legacy Arts workshops provide opportunities for older adults to explore their important stories and meaningful memories. Multi-week workshops facilitated by expert arts educators are offered in different media, including memoir writing, storytelling, poetry, studio art classes and more.
Advance Care Planning
People of all ages need to document what they want from their end-of-life care, and to share their wishes with those closest to them. DOROT’s advance care planning programs help ensure that older adults can make thoughtful, knowledgeable and independent decisions for themselves.
Discussion Groups & Social Gatherings
DOROT has something for everyone!
A lively debate about current events? A dynamic discussion with other book lovers? Social meetups for decluttering? Or a friendly game of mah jongg? Seniors can enjoy a full range of one-time and ongoing discussion groups and gatherings that enrich life and offer meaningful social connections.
Homelessness Prevention and Aftercare Program/Community Partnership Program
DOROT is committed to continuing programming for formerly homeless older adults and those in need with services previously offered by the Homelessness Prevention and Aftercare Programs through our new Community Partnership Program.
