Brockwayville Depot Social Center

Overview

What do you think of when someone says the words senior center? Do you picture older people (much older than you, of course) sitting around playing bingo and shuffleboard? Eating bland meals while a television is blaring? Time to update your vision! Senior Centers are not what they used to be. Today’s senior center is a vibrant, action-packed combination of local fitness center, volunteering headquarters, transportation hub, and tasty dining locale. Make a plan to visit your local senior center this month. Here are some things you might discover: You don’t have to be on Medicare to take advantage of all the great opportunities at your local senior center. Anyone age 60 and older can take advantage of the benefits. Approximately 70% of senior center participants are women. Three-quarters visit their center one to three times per week and spend an average of 3.3 hours per visit. Research shows that compared with their peers, senior center participants have higher levels of health, social interaction, and life satisfaction.
