Seniors
Older adults are at increased risk for COVID-19 complications due to age or because of an underlying medical condition, so it is especially important to take actions to reduce risk of exposure. All 15 Phoenix Senior Centers have implemented precautions and protocols recommended by county and state health officials to keep our older residents safe as they participate in events and activities at the senior centers.

City of Phoenix Retirees – The Phoenix Nationwide office is currently closed, in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis. Customers can schedule a phone appointment to avoid long hold times. Nationwide recommends retirees contact their local retirement representative to address concerns or changes to their investment plan.
