What could the Kenai Senior Center do that would be helpful to Seniors in the area?
• A lot of us cannot hear the speaker clearly
• Reach out instead of Seniors having to actively search/reach for services. Coordination with other entities in
community
• Add van to Kasilof
• I can’t think of anything the Seniors need that they don’t have.
• Start a handy man service to do light repairs and household maintenance.
• Maybe be interviewed on “Soundoff” on KSRM when we have activities going on, like money –raising functions.
• I think they already go overboard to help the seniors. They provide meals to a lot of people that would not get any
without the SC support.
• Gather more social dances every once and while with music from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s.
• Have a dance every 6 months
• More music to dance off like Sinatra, Streisand, Big bands
• Encourage more seniors to volunteer at the Senior Center.
• You are good in all you do
• I’m not sure, I just moved here
• Become better known/services, location, driving and apartments location and access to downtown.
• Summer activities outside—bowling, golf
• Publicize the Center more possibly create more volunteers
• Keep them informed since some don’t get out in area
• Tax preparation
• Maybe additional classes such as—Dealing with Dementia & Alzheimer's
• You do so much! We visited Senior Centers in Illinois, Virginia and Arkansas and they seem to have very limited
food choices (not like our gourmet meals) and the people who go there seem so much older than the fun people
who come here.
• Get information out to seniors about what is offered here.
• Find something to do in Kasilof
• You seem to be doing well.
• Keep up the good work
• More direction of cost of services and communicate more directly to seniors as a whole at dining time!
• Just be here. Keep offering the services to them.
• Have a better salad bar. Cottage cheese and peaches aren’t salad. More raw vegetables.
• Maybe get the word out into the community. I think there are many many seniors that just don’t know what is
available here at the Senior Center, for them. I try to tell them.
• Fruit in the mornings
• Less salt, sometimes to spicy, more drivers. *A sign up when shellfish is being served in foods.*
Page 14 of 27
Do you have any other suggestions?
• Double lines for island food service table.
• No! Keep up the good work. Thank you!
• Make available services clearly known understand and communicate with other agencies in community.
• Continue to maintain your kind, caring atmosphere. You’re doing a great job. Thank you
• I love the Kenai Senior Center
• Too many veggies are under cooked. I can’t chew. Taste raw, no flavor.
• I would much prefer soft background music to live groups at lunchtime. The loud music means yelling to carry
on conversations which is the main reason we come to the Senior Center.
• Please try to take care of cleanliness problems. Several people need to be told about their body odors. Some of
us can’t smell, but some of us can, very well.
• Make better quality and better tasting lunches.
• Give them all a raise for being such a wonderful, helpful group.
• A game table
• Funny game day, like wheelchair tag, guessing something, picture drawing
• No I think it’s great
• You’all are very much appreciated and treasured by all.
• Helpers– for meal time to prevent spills for people who have problems.
• Senior Center has done a fabulous job!! Top notch gold stars!
• The update in the Centerline is good because we didn’t know
• Keep up the good work!
• Thanks for bringing out our dinners as I go to Kenai about once every 2 or 3 months.
• More direction to go for services outside Center
• Nope. You do a great job.
• Upgrade the computer room so that it is usable. Very out of date.
• NO! It’s a wonderful place for people like me.
• Read aloud groups, citizen scientist group, gardening
• Signs up for shellfish in food! Lack of the ability to remember what is being served. What kind of seafoods.
