Senior Center

Orem Senior Friendship Center is dedicated to serving city residents who are age 55 and older.  The following are standards of conduct and behaviors to ensure a safe, healthy and pleasant environment at the Orem Senior Friendship Center and at Center sponsored activities, enabling older adults to participate in programs contributing to an improved quality of life.

Staff and volunteers are expected to maintain high standards of respect, professionalism and courtesy with all participants,
fellow volunteers and staff.

Participants are expected to:

• Be able to function independently in the Center or be accompanied by a caregiver.
• Maintain personal hygiene that is healthy and not offensive.
• Use voice, language and behavior that will not offend or
  disturb other participants or staff.
   Recognize and respect diversity and treat others with
  courtesy and consideration.
   Help avoid needless repairs by using the Center and Center
  equipment with care.
   Understand that all Centers are public facilities requiring
  compliance with federal, state, county and city regulations.
  In the case of inappropriate behavior by participants, the Center
  administrator or designated staff member will clearly state
  expectations, concerns and seek the cooperation of the
  participant in resolving the issue. If the behavior continues, on-
  duty staff has the authority to ask the participant to leave. If a
  participant’s privileges are suspended for more than one full day,
  the Center administrator will provide written notification of the
  suspension along with information on the process to appeal the
  decision. Law enforcement may be contacted for any threat or
  incident of assault or for willful destruction of property.
