Sustainable Maryland Application Health & Wellness Innovative Demonstration Project Ageless Grace Program

Points Requested: 10

For the past four years, the City of Hyattsville has hosted the “Ageless Grace” program for our senior residents. The program started being offered once a week, but last year expanded and is now held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, at the City Municipal Building. In May 2016, the program expanded again and is now offered a third day of the week, Thursdays, at the Mall at Prince George’s. The program held at the City Building averages 10-15 participants, and the program at the Mall has seen up to 50 participants. The hour long class is a seated exercise program focused on being easy for folks of all ages to do. The classes guide seniors through 21 chair exercises to improve functional skills and brain function. Classes are free for all to participate. If requested, transportation to and from Ageless Grace classes can be provided to residents at no cost through the City’s Call-A-Bus service. The City currently budgets $4,000 per year for the program, which is largely subsidized through a Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission grant for senior activities. Program funds are used to pay the instructor. After taking into consideration grants, the program ends up breaking even. The City currently runs a deficit on the program, but is looking to add additional funding to the next budget.
