The overall goal of the seven Senior Centers of the Lexington County Recreation and Aging Commission is summarized in the motto, Privileged Ones Growing Older. Recognizing that it is a privilege to grow older, we strive to enhance the lives of the older adults in our population and to acknowledge and benefit from the numerous gifts those persons have to offer through their participation in our programs. Our Senior Centers offer a variety of programs and activities aimed at enhancing an older adult’s mental and physical wellness. Anyone who wishes to participate in our programs must be free of conditions requiring personal care assistance or personal supervision. Older adults are welcome to participate in the daily activities at the Centers. Call your local Center for age requirements, memberships, activity fees and program availability.
