Had so much fun. Super upbeat .they have got tons of things going on in every room. Lots and lots of activity options, like a CARD room and a BINGO room. I played bingo. I almost won 1 of the games. For the bingo they offer an EARLY BIRD round .I was late so I just bought the regular available buy in that COSTS $11. That included enough games that I gave the rest of mine to another lady because I ended up needing to leave after about an hour.They have a VERY GOOD SNACK AREA in there with treats soda waters chips and huge beef hotdogs all items were PRICED LOW and TASTED FRESH.Everyone was really sweet and extremely friendly and helpful. They all made us feel more than welcome . it was awesome.TOTALLY RECOMMEND. IT ROCKED!!!!

My mom and I visited this location because MANY MANY years, a little over a century ago, my Grandfather built it. It was unbelievable for her, an weird but proud to see a complete house that my Grandfather had built from scratch with his own hands.

Is there someone there who can give financial advice to someone who is disabled and in danger of being evicted? She is frightened and doesn't know what to do.

NY Nightingale | Aug 24, 2020
Janet Goeske Foundation & Senior Center | Aug 24, 2020

So sad to hear that, yes we definitely have people here to help though they aren't "Financial Advisors" per se. If you would like to make an appointment (in person or over the phone) please give our Welcome Desk a call at 951-351-8800. Our Senior Advisor provides one-on-one help navigating complicated situations. She can also provide a financial wellness assessment and action plan (if needed) to get things moving in a better direction. We can also connect you with our wonderful network of community partners if you require additional support/resources/expertise. If this is an urgent legal matter, we do have an Attorney that offers free 30 min consultations that might be able to provide some advice/direction.

Do they have a pool?

Ralph Garcia | Aug 25, 2018
Linda D | Aug 25, 2018

No not on the premises. I believe they either use a pool at RCC or they use the pool in the apt. housing unit next door to them. I'm not sure you'd have to call the center to find out

I heard that the center offered a time when homeless people could come and take and shower. Is that true?

LeighAnn Shute | Aug 25, 2018
Janet Goeske Foundation & Senior Center | Aug 25, 2018

We do not have homeless services on-site but we do help connect people with local resources (such as showers, laundry, etc.). Anyone who needs assistance can reach out to our Senior Services & Resource Manager or Senior Advisor.
