About this resource
The Directory of MI Senior Centers is maintained by the Michigan Association of Senior Centers (MASC), a statewide organization of senior-center professionals based in East Lansing. The directory helps older adults, families, and caregivers locate senior centers across Michigan — community hubs that offer activities, meals, wellness programming, and social connection for adults later in life.
Senior centers are an underused resource in many communities. They provide far more than recreation: a typical center may host congregate meals, fitness and fall-prevention classes, educational talks, transportation assistance, and opportunities to volunteer and socialize. For a caregiver, a nearby senior center can offer their loved one meaningful engagement and a built-in support network, while also giving the caregiver a much-needed break and a connection to local aging services.
MASC’s mission is to support senior-center professionals statewide, and the directory is one way the public benefits from that network. By browsing it, caregivers can find a center in their area, learn what programs it offers, and make contact directly. Because programming and hours vary from one center to the next, reaching out to a specific center is the best way to confirm current offerings and eligibility. The directory is a practical first step for any Michigan family looking to keep an older adult active, nourished, and socially connected.
