The Bullhead City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 5, 2025, highlighted the vibrant offerings of the Senior Campus, a key resource for the community's older residents. Kim Kuhl, the Senior Services Program Manager, detailed the extensive range of activities available for individuals aged 50 and above, emphasizing the campus as a hub for social engagement and wellness.
The Senior Campus provides daily exercise classes, including Zumba and fall prevention sessions, alongside creative workshops in beading, knitting, and painting. For those who enjoy games, options like bingo and poker are readily available, ensuring that there is something for everyone. Kuhl also pointed out the importance of support services, mentioning resources for veterans, Medicare information, and various support groups for caregivers and those dealing with loss.
A significant highlight of the campus is its nutritious congregate lunch program, which serves meals Monday through Friday, encouraging social interaction among participants. The suggested donation for lunch is $3 for seniors and $4 for those under 60. Additionally, the Meals on Wheels program extends the campus's reach, delivering meals and wellness checks to homebound seniors.
Kuhl encouraged residents to visit the Senior Campus at 2275 Train Road, located conveniently near City Hall, to explore the many opportunities available. She also mentioned the Angels Essential area, where community members can donate and shop for durable medical equipment.
In other discussions, the meeting addressed ongoing issues with non-flushable wipes causing significant maintenance problems at the wastewater treatment plant, leading to costly repairs. This concern underscores the importance of community awareness regarding proper waste disposal.
Overall, the meeting reinforced the Senior Campus's role in enhancing the quality of life for Bullhead City's older residents while also addressing critical infrastructure challenges facing the community.
