In downtown Seattle, the Pike Market Senior Center strives to make each day better and safer for older adults; the Pike Market Food Bank serves people of all ages who face hunger. Together, we provide services, activities, and support that lead to more self sufficient and fulfilling lives.

The Pike Market Senior Center has three major programs, Senior Nutrition, Social Services, and Wellness/Engagement.

• Senior Nutrition - PMSC serves two free meals to adults age 55 and older every day of the week. Please see our nondiscrimination policy.
• Social Services and Resident Advocacy - Social workers are available to help clients find shelter and housing, access medical care, and to connect seniors with assistance programs like social security and food stamps. Residents of the housing within Pike Place Market are served by the Resident Advocate to ensure they receive the support necessary for them to remain independent and healthy.
• Wellness-Engagement - PMSC offers fitness, art classes, trips and other activities to promote health and social engagement. A full schedule of classes and activities is available in the monthly newsletter, Parsley, Sage and Time (available online on our front page).

The Seattle Counseling Service (SCS) is committed to providing accessible services to all of our community. We have continuously found innovative strategies to meet the behavioral health needs of our diverse and complex LGBTQ community.

Areas of focus include:

Consultation + training: SCS staff are experts in issues relating to the LGBTQ community and can also speak generally or specifically about mental health and/or chemical dependency.

Testing + sexual health: We partner with other community organizations to provide free, confidential testing that is open to all. We also offer safe sex supplies and safe sex kits.

Support groups: Support groups can help provide a place to discuss your feelings, share information, and connect with peers and other members of the LGBTQ community.

We offer a sliding fee scale in addition to accepting Medicaid and many insurance plans.

Areas of focus include:

Nursing Services | 24-hour skilled care and rehabilitation services.

Social Services | Assisting patients and their families during transitional periods, providing essential information, managing requests and concerns, and helping in care planning and discharge planning.

Rehabilitation | Individualized programs to reach goals of increased independence and ability. Patient families are also encouraged to participate in therapy sessions, caregiver education, and training.

Long Term and End of Life Care | Care focusing on differing populations of individuals--many patients require several days or weeks of medical care and therapy before they can safely return home or to a lower level of care.
