What is Seniors’ Centre Without Walls?
Seniors’ Centre Without Walls (SCWW) is as simple as just picking up your telephone!
Through the use of multi-person phone calls, SCWW provides the opportunity for participants to join in on health and wellness seminars, educational lectures, brain-stimulating activities, listen to live musical entertainment, participate in general conversations, and make new and meaningful friendships – all from the comfort of home! It works just the same as attending a class or a lecture at the centre, but instead it is facilitated over the telephone.
Seniors’ Centre Without Walls Basics:
- Completely free program.
- You do need to be a member of the Rexdale CHC Seniors Program
- Programs are multi-person phone conversations (or conference calls).
- No special equipment needed – just your average phone!
- Call yourself in to the program, or we can call you – it’s your choice!
- Each phone session lasts about 45 – 60 minutes.
- Each phone session averages 10-15 people on the call.
- You are able to hear each other, talk to one another, learn, and/or just have fun!
