Senior Center On the Move
WE VISIT SENIOR LIVING CAMPUSES!
Center on the Move is a unique outreach initiative that brings the Amherst Center for Senior Services directly to senior living communities.
​
Our multidisciplinary team visits area facilities to introduce residents to the many programs, activities, and support services available through the Center, including our Senior Outreach Services.
