Health and Wellness Programs

Stay active. Stay connected. Stay independent.

At Community Care Peterborough, we’re here to help you live well and age with confidence. Our Health and Wellness programs are designed to support strength, balance, and overall well-being — all in a welcoming, social environment.

We offer a wide variety of Exercise and Falls Prevention classes, both in-person and online, along with wellness sessions, walking groups, and at-home resources.

These programs are open to residents of the City and County of Peterborough aged 55 and older.

All classes are free to try, and drop-in, year-round. There is no requirement to sign up for seasonal sessions or a specific class/program of any length. We encourage you to look at the class schedules and try a class or two.  Then join us as a member to stay connected with us and our variety of exercise classes.
