Senior Services

District Heights Senior Center

Our Vision

We visualize a better tomorrow in the City of District Heights today for residents 50 years of age and older and vulnerable populations through evidence-based active aging and intergenerational programming, along with resource linkages to supportive services that enrich, empower, and enhance quality of life with aging-in-place efforts.

We envision an age-friendly city where individuals can grow and thrive through systems, policies, technology, infrastructure, and resources that address their life needs.

Our Mission

We seek to improve the lives of aging adults through place-based intergenerational activities and events that provide opportunities for social interaction, workforce development, recreation, essential support, education, volunteerism, and community activism to help them age independently and remain connected to their community.
