Senior Center Gets $150,000 From Amgen
Senior Concerns, a Thousand Oaks-based nonprofit group that provides care for elderly clients, has received a $150,000 contribution from the Amgen Foundation toward the expansion of its senior center.
The $1.5-million construction project at the Fitzgerald Senior Day Support Center on Hodencamp Road started in August and is expected to be completed this summer, officials said.
Once expanded, the center will nearly double in size and be able to serve up to 80 elderly clients who require some assistance and supervision during the day but do not live in nursing homes.
Senior Concerns also operates a Meals on Wheels program and Ventura County’s Alzheimer’s Day Care Resource Center.
