Oberlin Senior Center

Oberlin Senior Center of NHA has a long history of helping people from age 55 and up in Oberlin and southern Lorain County. Oberlin Senior Center links seniors to the benefits of programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Home Energy programs, Homestead Exemption and Golden Buckeye Cards.

The Center fosters independent living for seniors by offering a  homemaker and chore program for seniors who need help maintaining their homes or apartments. The Center encourages intergenerational activity through the Listening Post program in the Oberlin Public Schools and by creating picture books for younger children. The Center also guides seniors to other agencies and services such as the Ohio Department of Aging, Lorain County Department of Job and Family Services, Nord Center, Lorain County Community Action Agency, the County Board of Elections, Oberlin Community Services, and governmental offices, as well as helping with housing options.

Adult Health Clinic

Three days each month wellness checks are available to Senior clients by Lorain County Health Department nurses. Services include  physical exams, complete immunizations, diabetic screening, foot checks, colon cancer screening and blood & urine tests.

Taxpayer Outreach

An Outreach of the Lorain County Auditor's program brings a worker to the senior center each month to assist with property tax program information and enrollment.
