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 you 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 the baby boom and Gen X generations. 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.
