Welcome
Welcome to the Town of Amherst Center for Senior Services! As a premier destination for older adults 50+ in the Amherst community, we offer enriching programs, engaging classes, vibrant clubs, essential support services, nutritious dining options, and more —all designed to help you stay active, connected, and inspired.

About
​The Amherst Center for Senior Services is a vibrant community hub dedicated to enhancing the lives of adults 50 and older. We connect older adults with vital programs and resources to help you stay healthy, active, and independent.
We offer a variety of programs and services including: Nutrition, health, fitness, and wellness programs; information & assistance; transportation services, public benefits counseling, employment assistance, volunteer opportunities, social and recreational activities, education and arts programs, and intergenerational programs in partnership with the Amherst Youth & Recreation Department.​
Our Center is reinventing itself to meet the needs and desires of the aging baby boom generation. Boomers now constitute more than two-thirds of the 50+ population.
Research shows that older adults who participate in senior programs can learn to manage or delay the onset of chronic disease and experience measurable improvements in their physical, social, spiritual, emotional, mental, and economic well-being.
NEW CAFE AND GIFT SHOP COMING TO THE CENTER!
We are thrilled to share that our Audubon Cafe will be completely renovating the current Craft Room, creating this new combination space. This project will be done in collaboration with the Town of Amherst and the Amherst Generations Foundation.
