Our Community Health Workers assist seniors, individuals and, families in our community to access resources that improve their physical and mental health and quality of life. We make the important connections between people seeking assistance and the resources that can answer questions and provide care. We also provide social support and informal counseling, and we work on a one-to-one basis.

Kid’s Place Child Development and Treatment Center improves the social-emotional, physical, and intellectual development of children enrolled in its multi-age classes. Kid's Place is a "Three Star" approved Child Care Service (CCS) "Quality Care Provider".

For information about our Kid’s Place childcare program for children ages 14 months to 5 years, click here.

As part of our intake process, we assess not only the child’s level of developmental functioning but also the degree of stress in the family. This allows us to develop individualized plans of care.

We love being an intergenerational space! We engage local seniors to read with Kid’s Place students once a week. Intergenerational activities can improve children’s motor and cognitive skills, as well as social and emotional competencies like empathy, patience, and problem-solving.

Thanks to generous support from foundation partners and individual donors, we are able to provide tuition assistance for our students.

Our Westside seniors have done so much for our community. HNS’s Senior Health program is our humble way to give back.

Comida y Comunidad

We offer seniors free lunch, prepared onsite by our talented cooks. These meals nourish not only bodies but spirits as seniors join together. Food is such a powerful way to build community!

Promoting Physical and Mental Health

Our seniors enjoy activities such as yoga, Zumba, bingo, dances, and crafting. We partner with other local groups and agencies to provide education on various health topics.

For information about our Senior Health program, including senior lunches, click here.
