Our Programs

In partnership with the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging, we provide nourishing meals to home-bound clients. Whether facing long-term disabilities or recovering from short-term challenges, our meal delivery service serves as a vital lifeline, ensuring access to healthy and balanced nutrition. Our dedicated team of volunteers and staff carefully prepare and deliver meals that meet dietary needs, helping to support overall health and well-being. This service not only provides essential nourishment but also offers social interaction and wellness checks, helping to reduce isolation and ensuring that our clients feel connected and cared for. By delivering fresh and nutritious meals directly to the homes of those in need, we aim to enhance their quality of life and promote independent living.

The physical and mental wellness of our seniors is a priority when it comes to our mission at Five Star Center. We host vaccine clinics, healthcare speakers, and exercise classes. We are very proud to have a program with the St Louis University School of Nursing where nursing students come weekly to interact with our seniors by taking blood pressures and monitoring glucose levels. They also make home visits to some of our homebound meal delivery clients to check on their health ane wellbeing.

Our day program at the center provides fun and educational opportunities for socialization. Loneliness is one of the most common reasons for ill health and early death among seniors. At Five Star we work to make a a caring and welcoming environment for our clients. Our montly field trips provide them the chance to go to places and experience events they may never have had the opportunity to before. From bingo and karaoke to our annual “Senior” Prom, we give our clients a reason to come out and continue to enjoy life.

At Five Star Center, our curb-to-curb transportation service provides essential support for seniors and individuals with disabilities within the City of St. Louis. Designed to enhance independence and community connection, we offer reliable shuttle services to and from the Center for daily activities such as lunch programs, social events and recreational opportunities, as well as grocery stores, medical appointments and community events.

Through a partnership with the St. Louis City Senior Fund, we offer minor exterior and interior home repairs to seniors aged 60 and older. Our team assists with essential repairs such as fixing damaged doors, windows, and railings, addressing minor plumbing and electrical issues, and improving home safety with handrails and ramps. These repairs help enhance mobility, security, and overall living conditions, ensuring that seniors can comfortably and safely remain in their homes. By maintaining both the exterior and interior of their residences, we support aging in place and foster a sense of stability and dignity for our clients.

We do a lot here at Five Star Center, but we can’t do it all. So, we seek out partners within the St Louis region that can provide the knowledge necessary to help guide our clients in any way possible. From food insecurity to housing assistance, from health concerns to elder abuse, we work to find the resources needed to help our seniors live successfully. We have tabling events, but some of our partners sponsor bingo and talk about their program between games. If your organization would be interested in talking to our clients, call us at 314-664-1008.
