SENIOR SURVEY CENTER OVERVIEW

What is a Senior Center? Today’s senior centers are vibrant, action-packed community focal points where older persons come together for fitness, education, nutrition, volunteerism, socialization, and recreation.  

 

Senior centers across the nation serve adults aged 50 and older providing a warm and welcoming environment to engage with their peers and to connect with other vital community services. Hillsborough County Aging Services operates seven nationally accredited senior centers across the county that are an important element of healthy aging by preventing social isolation and delivering a range of services and programs to keep older adults healthy, happy, and independent.  

  

Your input is important to us. Please complete the survey and let us know your thoughts.
