Senior Centers become the heartbeat of community connection for older adults. They function as the “schoolhouse” for adults age 55 and older, providing relevant information on how to successfully age in place, building the tools for maintaining independence, self-determination, and growing new support systems at a time when many are losing partners, friends, and relatives. Senior Centers serve as a one-stop shop for older adults to access education, enrichment, support services and connections to each other.
