Senior Activity Centers
Research shows that older adults who participate in senior center programs can learn to manage and delay the onset of chronic disease and experience measurable improvements in their physical, social, spiritual, emotional, mental, and economic well-being.
- Recognized by the Older Americans Act (OAA) as a community focal point, senior centers have become one of the most widely used services among America’s older adults.
- Senior centers serve as a gateway to the nation’s aging network—connecting 1 million older adults to vital community services.
- 75% of participants visit their center 1 to 3 times per week. They spend an average of 3.3 hours per visit.
- Today, almost 10,000 senior centers serve more than 1 million older adults every day.
