How We Can Help
Active Lifestyles
Through the MJCCA’s (Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta) Active Mature Adults department, AgeWell Atlanta provides seniors with the perfect place to connect with other adults and have some fun. Through senior fitness activities, Jewish learning, fascinating discussion groups and lectures, social activities, and events such as day trips and outings, older adults can make the most of their leisure time.
The MJCCA and AgeWell Atlanta coordinate senior recreation activities that are both exciting and accessible. These social programs are perfect for a range of interests. From pickleball and yoga to virtual book clubs and cooking classes, there is something to keep everyone engaged, both mentally and physically.
“When I retired I didn’t know what to do. Now I have a focus in my life. I have friends and companionship. AgeWell Atlanta filled up my life with so many wonderful things.”
