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 and resource linkages to supportive services that enrich, empower, and enhance the quality of life with aging in place efforts in our city. We also envision an age-friendly city where individuals can grow and thrive with systems, policies, technology, infrastructure, and resources that address their life needs.

Our Mission:

We seek to improve the lives of aging adults through placed-based intergenerational activities and events with 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.

Our Core Values:

  • WE will respect all who interact with the Center.
  • WE will embrace differences in skills, knowledge, cultural heritage, ethnicity, gender orientation, and religion of mature people and their families.
  • WE will guide our residents and the larger community toward life-long well-being.
  • WE will use collected information from our residents to benefit the larger community.
  • WE will address diverse interests and needs.
  • WE will assist aging adults needing information, housing, caregivers, transportation, and other support.
  • WE will honor the presence and accomplishments of our aging residents in the community, bringing joy and pleasure through education, social events, and recreation.
