Bingo at Brooke Terrace Senior Apartments

Sensible Senior Homecare has a standing Bingo event at the Brook Terrace Senior Apartments in Hemet every quarter since 2009. Usually in attendance are the residents and extended family. We even  had three generations, Daughter, Mother, and Grandmother in attendance at one of our Bingo parties. This event is about getting together with other seniors for an afternoon of food and fun. Not sure if they come for the food, or prizes, or love of Bingo, but all have a good time and get to spend time with friends and family. Sensible Senior Homecare is dedicated to the Senior community. We not only provide Caregivers to keep seniors in their homes and remain independent, we also provide community activities that concentrate on social and family programs to keep our Seniors connected to others seniors.
