• Kenai Senior Center 2022 Client Satisfaction Survey Results
General Comments:
• I didn’t fill out some of the questions as I'm housebound with Stage 4 COPD. It’s been over 2 years
since I’ve been to the stores. I even do my doctor’s appointments over the internet.
• All workers have been kind and very helpful.
• The home-delivered meals are a blessing.
• Use plastic instead of Styrofoam; less carbs, more diabetic foods, no carrots, no corn, instead of
potato use cauliflower mashed. More green veggies.
• The Director and staff always willing to check on how we feel they are doing at their jobs and willing to
accept ideas.
• Very well managed dining room and apartments. Grateful to be here.
• More going on tours when Covid-19 lets up. Staff is the best they treat us like family.
• Excellent staff!!!
• I am so grateful for the Kenai Senior Center. It fulfills my need for companionship and activity. (and great food)
• We are extremely fortunate to have this excellent facility in our small community. The staff has always been
supportive and helpful, taking a real interest in each person what a blessing.
• I live in the apartments and feel I could not be in any better place. We are family and take care of each other and
pray for everyone here.
• Fit and strong needs four-pound weights. What were the proceeds for March for Meals?
• I am happy with the KSC Programs. My only problem is loud music. It interferes with socializing and visiting
during meals. It’s hard for those who wish to visit but have hearing issues if there is loud music. The acoustics of
the center is not conducive to enjoying loud music.
• Daily my prayers with center and staff comes with angels.
• It is a wonderful to have a place to go to, to eat, and have someone to talk to and to help us be active.
• I think senior centers are the best thing the state has done with its money. We all get older.
• Great Place
• The staff is and always has been very helpful with any needs and appropriate in all aspects. My mom worked for
Kathy Romain and Rachel driving for Meals-on-Wheels then attended the KSC for years after, for nearly 20 years.
Everyone at the KSC is great. I was always supported even when I was in a caregiver situation with my mom in
many ways. Congregate meals, van pick-ups, meals at home. Many, many ways.
• Consider installing a camera system at exit/entrance doors.
• I feel so lucky to have the senior center and I think its attachment to Vintage Point was brilliant. Many of my
single friends find a social life there after their losses. It’s a cheery, bright place.
• I think it is a great community resource for seniors.
• Love your soups. Especially cream. Miss your great homemade cookies, more fish. Love your Cod-baked.
• I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the Center.
• I love coming to the Center, sitting on the couch by the sunny windows and enjoying the view and a cup of
coffee. Thanks
• Senior bus is too cold. The bus no heat at 45-degree F. too cold. Suggestion: after arming up your vehicle
maintain with low fan at warm setting.
• In the summer I would like to see a trip to Mt. McKinnel Park by bus. I would like to help with ground keeping,
watering grass or raking twigs.

to vital community services that can help them stay healthy and independent.
The Senior Center is serving our older citizens who were instrumental in building the City of Kenai.

that promote quality of life and maximize independence, while allowing seniors to stay within the
community of their choice.
The Center serves the City of Kenai, Salamatof, Kalifornsky Beach, Cohoe, Kasilof, and Clam
Gulch. Services and programs are available for seniors 60 + from 8 am – 5 pm, Monday through
Friday.
The Senior Center offers a wide variety of programs and services, including:
Meal and nutrition programs
Information and assistance
Health, fitness, and wellness programs
Transportation services
Benefits counseling
Employment assistance
Volunteer opportunities
Social and recreational activities
Education and art programs
Intergenerational programs
How is the Senior Center Funded?
To maintain operations, The Center must leverage resources from a variety of sources. These
included federal, state, and local government; special events; public and private grants;
businesses; bequests; participant contributions; in-kind donations; and volunteer hours.

FY22 Department Goals Evaluation
1. Develop different menu items accommodating special needs diets, enabling us to reach a
wider audience while still fulfilling grant and federal guidelines. This goal corresponds
with the City Comprehension Plan Goal #1 to promote and encourage quality of life
elements in Kenai.
• Achieved. Received grant funding to develop gluten-free and diabetic substitutes.
Offering those as available.
2. By the City’s Fleet Replacement Plan, restructure our current transportation services. This
will be achieved by implementing a slight reduction in the Center’s current vehicle
inventory and networking with other transportation providers in the Community. This will
ensure continuity of service while promoting fiscal responsibility and community
partnership. This goal is in line with City Comprehensive Plan Goal #5 to provide
transportation systems that are efficient and adequate to serve the regional needs of the
community.
• Achieved. Although still waiting on vehicle delivery.
3. Develop special needs diets, such as Diabetic, Vegetarian, and Low Carb meals thus
enabling us to reach a wider audience while still fulfilling grant and federal guidelines.
• Partially Achieved through Goal #1.
4. Increase unassisted and assisted transportation by 25% with a regular transportation
schedule throughout Kenai serving not only those seniors who visit the Senior Center, but
also seniors who could utilize this system for basic transportation. This goal is in line with
City Comprehensive Plan Goal #5 to provide transportation systems that are efficient and
adequate to serve the regional needs of the community.
• Not Achieved. Our transportation program started up again in October 2021 due to
COVID. We will be continuing to work on this goal in FY23.
5. Develop at least four education classes throughout this year for seniors in partnership with
Kenai Community Library, using new technology purchased through COVID-19 funding.
• Not Achieved. Due to COVID, though the departments have discussed upcoming
collaborations for this next year so will continue through FY23.
FY23 Department Goals
These goals correspond with the City Comprehension Plan Goal #1 to promote and
encourage quality of life elements in Kenai.
24416
1. Increase unassisted and assisted transportation by 25% with a regular transportation
schedule throughout Kenai serving not only those seniors who visit the Senior Center, but
also seniors who could utilize this system for basic transportation.
2. Develop at least four education classes throughout this year for seniors in partnership with
Kenai Community Library, using new technology purchased through COVID-19 funding.
3. Senior Center staff will work to increase activity by 20% with more classes targeting the
mind and the body. This will be registered through MySeniorCenter as activity
participation units.
4. Senior Center staff will welcome at least 50 new participants to the Senior Center
encouraging those individuals
5. Senior Center staff will develop a new member orientation program welcoming them to
the Center and identifying information that would be most useful to them.
6. Senior Center staff will develop a volunteer training program to improve the effectiveness
and meaningful engagement and satisfaction of volunteers/members.
7. Senior Center staff will attend/participate in a minimum of two training/classes per year on
current aging trends or safety-related issues.
8. Senior Center staff along with volunteers will utilize the new greenhouse to supply bedding
plants for the Center and help subsidize the kitchen with fresh vegetables.
Future Considerations
As we review current operations and procedures for the Senior Center many of these do not
include the use of technology or new implementations. While free training and education can be
found, software like MySeniorCenter, used to manage large amounts of data is expensive and
requires a long-term commitment. In an ever-changing world of technology, budgeting for the
proper tools to support these changes will be increasingly more important.
