Senior Recreation Program

The Alliance Center for Independence (ACI) received a grant from the Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services to provide social and recreational activities to seniors in Middlesex County. The purpose of this program is to help end social isolation and loneliness in the lives of many seniors. We strive to promote and cultivate fellowship and friendship while developing a sense of community. The positive impact of the participants’ mental and physical ability is immeasurable. Our seniors have also learned to become more independent while taking more charge of their own lives.

Who’s Eligible?
