Code of Conduct and Ethics
Our Mission
To serve as a community focal point for senior services where adults 60+ come together for fellowship and program
participation, to engage in opportunities for dignity and personal growth, to improve and enrich their quality of life,
to support the needs of older individuals, to enhance their independence, and to broaden their involvement within
the community.
Users of the Center are expected to follow standards of independence and behaviors as we strive to support the goals
of a welcoming atmosphere and safe environment for all who come through our doors.
Be considerate of people and property:
• Please remember all ADA approved service animals are permitted in the building. Owners are responsible
for their animal by keeping the animal close and in control at all times. Service animals must not disrupt
other patrons.
• Please know that smoking or vaping is not allowed within the Senior Center building or within twenty (20)
feet of the Center building. KMC 12.40 Ashtray stands are located near the sidewalk in front of the Senior

• Please refrain from consuming alcohol on the premises during Senior Center regular hours. Participants who
are under the influence will be asked to leave the premises.
• Please refrain from using cell phones within the main dining room. Phone calls may be taken outside or to
other less populated areas of the Senior Center. Conversations via speakerphone are discouraged as they can
be disruptive to other patrons.
• Please keep in mind the provided items are intended for use at the Center. (Napkins, cream/sugar, etc.)
