Senior centers are not designed as care facilities. They are primarily social clubs. In general, senior centers are aimed at older adults who are fairly independent. Some offer transportation, but others expect seniors to be able to get to and from the center on their own. Most senior centers are very accessible to active older adults in wheelchairs and will provide suitable transportation for field trips and similar events.
Senior centers can be an important resource for older adults in any community.
To find a senior center in your area, check the community service pages in your telephone book. You might also see if the area agency on aging runs an information and referral service in your community. If so, it may be another source for information about local senior centers. All Rights Reserved.
