Senior center

A senior center (or senior centre or older adult center) is a type of community center where older adults congregate for fellowship with others to fulfill many of their social, physical, emotional, and intellectual needs.

Computer services and help, including computer labs and assistance with email, Internet access and tax preparation are also provided by many senior center programs.

Field trips to out-of-town events, venues, recreation, or other pursuits such as casino gambling, are often organized by local senior centers to allow their members to have fun outside their community.

Many centers also serve lunches, providing a critical community need to seniors who are still active and do not need Meals on Wheels service, but have limited financial means to make their own lunches, and prefer companionship while eating.

In the United States, multiple cities and towns have senior centers which receive funding from private, municipal, state, and federal sources.
