Learn about our re-opening plans
To be active in our programs, a person must be at least 60 years old, reside in Lexington and be independent in all areas of personal care and personal safety.
Our senior centers offer a safe and affordable place to spend time engaged in meaningful activities. They are staffed with caring professionals who have experience working with the senior population.
