Programming for Adults 55 and older is designed to support whole-person wellness through six key dimensions: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental well-being.

These programs are thoughtfully created to help individuals stay active, connected, and engaged while maintaining independence and quality of life. By addressing all areas of wellness, we support adults in aging in place with confidence, purpose, and grace.

Billings Community and Senior Center Rec & Wellness

Recreation & Wellness at the Billings Community & Senior Center

At the Billings Community & Senior Center, our Recreation and Wellness programs are designed to support health, independence, and meaningful connection for adults of all abilities. We offer a wide variety of classes that meet participants where they are—whether the goal is to build strength, improve balance, stay active, or simply enjoy time with others in a welcoming environment.

Our programs focus on functional fitness, cognitive engagement, and social connection, helping participants feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to their community. From movement-based classes and wellness education to creative arts and social activities, there is something for everyone.

Classes are offered both at the Community & Senior Center and in partnership with locations across the Heights, South Side, and West End to increase accessibility and reduce barriers to participation.

Allies in Aging Partnership

We are proud to have a formal partnership with the Allies in Aging.

Through a partnership between the City of Billings and the Allies in Aging, the Billings Community Center serves as a meal site for the Senior Lunch Program, providing affordable and nutritious lunches Monday – Friday at 11:45–12:00 PM. The cost is a $6.00 donation for those over 60 years of age and an $8.00 donation for those under 60 years of age. Reservations must be made 24 hours in advance.

Over the past eight years, our partnership with the Allies in Aging has grown stronger. In 2021, we expanded our recreation and wellness programming to both locations, broadening our community impact. Due to increasing demand, programming at the Heights location has tripled. For FY 2025, we secured additional funding to support further program expansion across the community and help offset rising costs of supplies and wages. Our ongoing collaboration with the Allies in Aging ensures that seniors have access to vital programs right in their neighborhoods, improving accessibility and enhancing their overall quality of life.
