Senior Center Closed Due to COVID-19

Due to the susceptibility of the age group served by the Bath Township Senior Center to COVID-19, the Bath Township Senior Center has remained closed, and will stay so into the near future. NO congregate meal sites (similar to our Center) are open at this time in our State. Guidance from the State of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (and being strictly followed by TCOA) is that meal sites will NOT REOPEN until at least 60 days AFTER the State enters Phase 6. Our region of the state is currently in Phase 4. Those age 60+ can still arrange for meal pick-up by calling Tasha Stetler at (517) 887-1393. Participants only have to provide their name, phone number, address and birth date.

Weather-Related Closings

A reminder from Bath Charter Township about weather-related closings: If Bath Community Schools close due to weather, then Parks & Recreation activities will be cancelled, and the Senior Center will be closed. When this happens, we will also announce it to the public on the Township’s website and Facebook.

Mid-Michigan District Health Department Requirements

Type III Food Service Establishment License: The Township applies each year for a Food Service Establishment License in order to prepare and serve meals and drinks on-site five days a week to the public at the Senior Center.

Certified Food Safety Manager: The Township must employ one certified food manager that works an average of 30 hours per week as a requirement of our license.

Inspections: As part of holding a Food Service Establishment License, at least two times per year, the Mid-Michigan District Health Department conducts unannounced inspections of our Center’s food preparation operations and procedures, as well as our staff’s knowledge.
