Our Community Services and Parks Department has 4 community centers dedicated to senior recreational programming, nutritional meals program, services, supportive services, case management, HICAP, classes, educational opportunities, and life long learning. Our Police department works closely with our Senior Services Unit in the area of Financial Crimes to ensure seniors are not scammed and defrauded out of money. We work with Fire and Community Development to ensure the safety of seniors in their homes.
Older, active adults are invited to enjoy meaningful personal and group activities offered at the City of Glendale senior centers. Services and programs include an integrated array of advocacy, health, nutrition, social services, sports and leisure activities. Eligibility may vary with some services but most programs are open to everyone without regard to age, race, color, nationality, origin, sex, religion, and mental or physical handicap.
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life, promote independence, self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment among the older citizens of Glendale.
