California has hundreds of public senior centers and community spaces serving older adults across the state — but there isn’t an easy way to find one near you. We put together this map to help fill that gap.
Senior centers are different from assisted living or adult day care programs. They’re community spaces where older adults can share meals, exercise, watch movies and find social connections.
Use the map above to find a public senior center near you. Enter your address to see the closest option in your area. Orange markers indicate dedicated senior centers, while yellow markers show other community centers that may offer programs for older adults. The map is based on public information from 2024, so some locations may have changed or shut down. If you notice outdated or incorrect information, let us know.
To create this map, we reviewed 2024–2028 area plans submitted by California’s Area Agencies on Aging, which coordinate services in counties and groups of counties. Federal law requires each of the 33 local agencies to submit an area plan to the state’s Department of Aging every four years. We extracted senior centers and other community centers, if available, from each plan. We then searched for contact information for each center.
