In addition to providing comprehensive services at all of our Mary’s Center locations, we also manage two Senior Wellness Centers, Bernice Fonteneau & Hattie Holmes, that provide our amazing DC older adult residents (60 years and older) a wide variety of free health, wellness, and social services tailored to their needs, including:

  • Health screenings 
  • Group exercise classes (yoga, tai chi, Zumba®, etc.) 
  • Nutrition education classes and 1-on-1 counseling 
  • Cooking demonstrations 
  • Computer training 
  • Recreational activities such as quilting, art, drama, and book groups 
  • Additional Older Adult Resources

The  Bernice  Fonteneau  Senior Wellness Center  (Ward 1; 3531 Georgia Avenue NW) and the Hattie Holmes Senior Wellness Center  (Ward 4; 324 Kennedy Street NW) both feature a state-of-the-art gym and group exercise studio, a teaching kitchen, a reading room, and a computer lab, among other amenities.
