SEASON OF GIVING

Celebrating the diversity & independence of Older Adults in the Tenderloin

Decreased health makes aging in one’s home difficult to maintain and afford, causing older adults to lose housing or be sent to institutional care.  At Curry Senior Center we make sure our older adults stay in their homes and their communities. We offer integrated health care, housing, case management support, meals, and community activities for all older adults, especially our most vulnerable, low-income, or unhoused.

We offer a number of services for our clients:

Programs

From Wellness to Behavioral Health, our programs help make sure we take care of the whole person.
