Support for Seniors

Senior Fitness
Shape Up is a safe, tested program of gentle exercise especially for seniors. The chair-based exercise program uses slow and gentle movements to restore strength and flexibility to all parts of the body. The class is suitable for all who want to revive more of their body's vitality and flexibility, feel more energetic and be healthier (even those with health limitations).

Bill Paying Service
Our Care Check Service helps anyone having difficulty paying bills, handling bank statements or overseeing finances—especially older individuals living independently or adult children caring for elderly parents.

Reverse Mortgage Counseling
Our Reverse Mortgage Counseling Program assists older individuals who have home equity and want to remain in their home and have additional cash flow. Our counselors will explain how interested parties can take out a loan, which typically does not have to be paid back as long as they live in their home. Our counseling fulfills the HUD prerequisite for Reverse Mortgage application.

Guardianship
The Up Center’s Virginia Guardianship Program helps protect adults and children who are incapable of making major life decisions on their own. The Up Center follows National Guardianship standards and procedures, which may be reviewed at www.guardianship.org.
