What we aim to solve
Main Line Senior Services, dba Wayne Senior Center, was formed in 1975 in response to the nutrition needs of older adults in the Main Line. Over the course of the next 47 years the organization evolved to a three times nationally accredited multi-service senior center that promotes vital aging and addresses many of the social determinants of health and wellness in older adults, including health care, wellness, and nutritional insecurity. Older adults throughout the Main Line community walk through the doors of the Center and find community, friendship, and access to vital resources which promote positive, healthy aging.
