The Door County Senior and Community Center located in the ADRC building in Sturgeon Bay remains closed to the public, leaving the elderly looking for other socialization during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In an interview earlier this month, Jake Erickson, Director of the Aging & Disability Resource Center, says he is amazed at the resiliency of the older generation.  With some elderly not having family or support nearby, he knows the services provided at the senior center are being greatly missed.

One positive that Erickson notes is that many of the participants have reached out to old friends and family they have not connected with in a while.  The mission of the ADRC of Door County is to offer information, assistance, and access to community resources to keep the citizens of the county active and engaged in their well-being and with their communities.  You can find more information on the ADRC with the link below.
