The mission of the Thomas Alexander Center for Active Living is to empower adults ages 60+ to live active, connected, and independent lives through meaningful relationships, engaging programs, and supportive community experiences.
Opening this August as part of our Phase II expansion, the Center for Active Living (CAL) will serve as a vibrant, welcoming gathering place for older adults throughout Oconee County. In a proud partnership with the Appalachian Council of Governments (ACOG), our goal is to create an environment where you can build lasting friendships, remain physically active, and enjoy a greater quality of life.
What We Offer
Our tailored programming supports overall wellness and healthy aging. Participants can look forward to:
- Nutritious Meals: Balanced, healthy dining options.
- Fitness & Movement: Group exercise and fitness classes.
- Continuous Learning & Growth: Engaging educational programming and guest speakers that nurture the mind and spirit.
- Games & Recreation: Recreational activities and social events to keep things fun.
