The Best of the Best

Senior Center 2020

Come and say hello.

We would love to meet you!

Glenville is proud to operate one of the most active senior centers in the region.  Built in 1997 through a combination of town support, local grants and fundraising, the Glenville Senior Center houses the Scotia-Glenville Senior Citizens, Inc., a non-profit organization.

Covid-19 Precautions

​

We have reopened for small group activities and will need to work together to keep our gathering sizes within the guidelines. When you enter the building you will be asked to sign the self- assessment health check-in that indicates that you do not have any Covid-19 symptoms, you have not tested positive or know that you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus in the last 14 days. Please refrain from coming to the Center if these conditions are not met. For the foreseeable future, masks will be required to be worn properly (covering the mouth and nose) at all times within the building. Please maintain a safe 6-foot distance between one another. You must also sign out of the building for contact tracing purposes.

​

Van Transportation

For senior residents of Glenville and Scotia only. Senior Center membership not required.

Our van must stay within Glenville/Scotia.

​

On-request pickup and delivery

Call 518-374-0734 M-F between 9 am and noon at least a day ahead (up to two weeks ahead)

to reserve space and schedule a ride to take you on your errands: to the barber or hairdresser,

Wal-Mart, grocery store, bank, etc. within the town. 

The van  operates Wednesday through Friday, 9am to 3pm.

Donations are gratefully accepted to help defray costs.

​

The center cannot offer transportation to medical appointments, but Catholic Charities may be able to, with ample advance notice.

​

Please be mindful of your fellow van riders and be prompt for your pickup times.

Medical Transportation

Catholic Charities Senior & Caregiver Support Services offer transportation to medical appointments for Schenectady County seniors aged 60 and older who are not on Medicaid. Our door to door service is also able to transport wheelchair clients. Our donation only program suggests $4.00 for ambulatory services; $6.00 for wheelchair services.

A brief phone registration is required.

Complete program information will be shared at that time. Please call (518) 357-9801,

Scholarship Opportunities

Scotia-Glenville Senior Citizens, Inc. will again offer $1,000 scholarships to three area high school seniors who have demonstrated good scholarship and community service, with special emphasis on service to Glenville senior citizens. High school seniors who live in the town of Glenville, regardless of school affiliation, may request an application by writing to the Glenville Senior Center, 32 Worden Rd., Glenville, NY 12302; attn.: Gerald Turecek, Scholarship Committee. Applications for the scholarships will also be available in local high school guidance offices. Applications must be returned to the Senior Center by May 14th, 2021.

Tax Preparation Assistance

​

Thank you to H & R Block, Mohawk Honda and Mohawk Chevrolet for helping our seniors. Of course, thank you to Supervisor Chris Koetzle for making this program a reality.

And Things Are  Even Better!

​

On Friday, September 18th, 2020, we celebrated the long-awaited opening of the new addition to the Glenville Senior Center. The new space includes a dedicated office for senior volunteers, a new classroom for increased programming and a recreation room complete with pool table, shuffle board table and large screen television. 

While the coronavirus has curtailed some of our activities at the present, this new space will allow for a wider array of activities to be provided in the future.
