Senior Centres serve as a focal point for older adults in the community and offer, in a single location, a wide variety of services and activities. Seniors centres provide a meeting place and are particularly beneficial to seniors who are isolated. Program activities can include home visiting, social activities, telephone networks, formal / informal counselling, assistance in filling out forms, help with income tax preparation and information referral. Many seniors centres also have a public education component bringing in guest speakers of interest to seniors.
