The Hollywood Senior Center is an independent non-profit community organization serving older adults, their caregivers and the neighboring community through the provision of education, information, health and wellness, recreation, nutrition and social services. The Center is committed to assisting seniors in leading independent, secure, healthy and fulfilled lives within their own community.

 About

Founded in 1973, the Hollywood Senior Center is a highly successful non-profit Multipurpose Senior Center. Our mission is to promote health, independence and well-being for adults 55 and older.  We provide services and activities for all older adults, from healthy to frail, across a full spectrum of interests and needs.

 Center programs and activities focus on four key areas – health promotion, education, recreation and nutrition.   Over 500 active participants use the Center regularly.  Hundreds more use the Center on a periodic basis for annual services such as flu shot clinics and Income Tax Form preparation.

 The Center is a designated Focal Point and District Senior Service Center under contract with Multnomah County’s Aging and Disability Services Division.  Staff from our Social Services office provide assessment and care coordination for 130 seniors living at home who need assistance to maintain their independence.  To protect the safety and health of these individuals, we arrange for housekeeping and bathing assistance, respite for caregivers, day care, home delivered meals and transportation.

 We provide Information and Assistance, responding to 200 inquiries each month from seniors, their family members and caregivers who need assistance in solving problems and accessing helpful resources.  We also coordinate with transportation services providing door-to-door transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping and activities in the community.

 With an annual budget of $400,000, most of our revenue comes from fundraised private contributions and bequests from participants and friends in the community.
