 About Us
Steinbach 55 Plus is a non-profit organization that provides programs, activities, and services for seniors.
A volunteer board of directors oversees three separate programs:
- Steinbach 55
Plus - a senior
centre with programs, activities and volunteer opportunities
to keep seniors active
- Community
Resources - services and supports
to help seniors remain independent in their homes
- Adult
Day Program - to provide socialization
for the frail elderly and respite for their caregivers.
As a Senior Centre, Steinbach 55 Plus focuses on aging in the community.
It is an organization that is dependent on kind-hearted volunteers and fundraisers.
One of the goals of the centre is to promote community participation. In order to do this
we have created many programs and activities for seniors.

There are many benefits of having a Seniors Centre:
- Fit seniors live longer, remain in their homes longer and
participate more fully in life.
- Contribution to the community in a person's leisure time brings meaning to life and provides
value to the community. Community involvement reduces alienation.
- Physical and mental health achieved through recreation and balanced, meaning lifestyles reduces
expensive health care costs.
- A physically active and fit senior is able to remain in the community longer, caring for themself. Investment in "active living" for seniors is wise. The costly alternative of institutional care should be perceived as a last resort.
This Centre was developed by seniors for seniors who want to improve the quality of life for themselves and others who are 55 plus.
