50+ Years of Community, Accredited for Excellence

Maybe you’re looking for something to do during the week, a way to stay active, or simply a place where you can walk in and feel comfortable. It’s easy to spend too many days at home without a routine that gets you out and connected. At Newark Senior Center, adults 50+ find daily programs, supervised fitness and pool access, trips, meals, and meaningful conversation—all in one welcoming space at 200 White Chapel Dr in Newark. As the first and only senior center in Delaware nationally accredited by the National Institute of Senior Centers, we bring trusted structure, experience, and care to everything we offer.

Daily Activities That Fit Your Pace

If you’re worried about feeling isolated, a full calendar of classes, clubs, and events gives you something to look forward to every day.

Supervised Fitness & Therapeutic Pool

Staying active can feel intimidating alone, but guided exercise and pool access help you move safely and confidently.

Support for Caregivers & Families

Caring for someone with memory changes or health needs can feel overwhelming, and dedicated support groups and resources remind you that you’re not alone.

Meals on Wheels That Reach Homebound Neighbors

When getting out isn’t possible, volunteer-prepared and delivered meals ensure members of our community stay nourished and connected.
