KENAI SENIOR CENTER
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:
•If you are ill, please do not enter the building as this is the best way we can ensure everyone's safety and
health. Hand sanitizer is available for your convenience.
•Please remember only 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. Emotional support animals are not allowed in the Senior Center.

Hello Kathy,
I would like to discuss adding the following paragraph:
“All persons shall respect others right to privacy and personal space at the Kenai Senior Center. Any
person who violates others privacy or personal space can be asked by the Senior Center Director to
leave the facility.”
This gives you the latitude to discuss the issue and determine when you need to take action.
Sincerely,
Ken Ayers
