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.

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.
