About
​The Amherst Center for Senior Services is a vibrant community hub dedicated to enhancing the lives of adults 50 years and older.
We connect older adults with vital programs and resources to help them stay healthy, active, and independent.
We offer 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 Baby Boomers and Gen X. 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.
Support
The Center offers social caseworkers available to meet with members on a one-on-one basis to assist with personal and family concerns during the Center’s business hours.
