摘要：Growing interest in healthier aging coincides with the comprehensive whole person wellness
model that includes physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, occupational, and social
dimensions. This study examined current wellness activities for older adults in rural Nebraska
senior centers. A mail survey was administered to the directors of Nebraska rural senior
centers. Site visits to the selected community centers and follow up interviews with the
directors of the community centers were conducted. Findings indicated that 14 percent of the
centers in rural Nebraska communities offered activities for all six dimensions. To
accommodate activities in a rural senior center, both programs and space for the programs
for diverse activities must be addressed.
