    Providing adequate leisure and social engagement opportunities for the older adult population is a key part to healthy aging. Flanner House is a local community center that has a Senior Program, and their goal is to provide the local older adult population with the means to be active within the community. After assessing the current program, the need for environmental modifications to promote leisure and social participation as well as recruit new members was established. This capstone project used occupational therapy-based models to guide the purpose of the research. Then environmental changes made created a safe environment for the seniors to actively engage in leisure and social activities.
