Senior Programming

Who are we? 

The Jewish Living Center (JLC) is a fresh approach to how we look at aging. It is a holistic attitude about how we view ourselves as we age. We want to be the place that you come to when you want to learn about something new and exciting. When you want to try out the newest trend in movement and exercise. Where you want to gather with friends and make new ones. Where you can feel comfortable being you. Where technology is just a touch away. Where adventure will take you places. The Jewish Living Center (JLC) and all of its programs are open to those who are 60 and better and are supported through a generous grant from the Jewish Senior Services Supporting Organization (JSSSO) and through your campaign dollars.

When city girl Sienna receives a mysterious call about the untimely deaths of distant family members in tiny Blissfield, Indiana, things get… weird. She’s been asked to deliver eulogies for relatives she’s never even met. What might have been just an excuse to escape her dead-end life in Chicago quickly turns into something entirely unexpected. As Sienna tries to navigate small-town quirks, she forms an unlikely bond with Millie, the ever-cheerful employee at the local funeral home. Together, they uncover secrets, share laughs, and forge a surprising friendship that might just change both their lives.

 

Join us for this fresh, funny, and heartwarming tale of family, self-discovery, and the most unusual ways we find connection.

 

Note: Adult language and themes included, so expect a bit of sass!
