Since 1967, the Council on Aging has been offering programs, activities and services to Salem residents age 60 and older and /or disabled. 

Program fees are required for certain programs but there is no membership fee to be part of the Senior Center. A schedule of events, information and special announcements is provided in "Senior Power," the monthly Council on Aging newsletter, which can be delivered to your home free of charge.  

"In the provision of our services, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender or gender identity, age, religion, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, ancestry, public assistance, veteran history/military status, genetic information or disability."
