Membership FAQs

How old do I need to be to come to the senior center?
You must be 50 years of age or older.

Do I need to live in New Castle?
There is no geographic criteria to come to the senior center.  We have members throughout Delaware as well as in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Is there a membership fee?
Membership is $20 per calendar year and includes most of our recreational activities, speakers and other programs.  You receive a special rate of $1 per class for daytime exercise classes and discounts on all trips.

Do you provide bus transportation?  Is there a fee?
For those who do not drive, we do provide daily transportation to/from the senior center.  However, this service is only available to certain neighborhoods within the 19720 zip code. The fee is $1 per day for paid members.

My mother has Alzheimer’s. Is this the right place for her?
We are a senior center, not an adult day care.  We do not have the staffing to assist people one on one. All members must be able to function independently throughout the course of the day.

I’d like to learn more about membership, what do I do next?
We invite you to come into the senior center for a tour.  We can show you around, go over our newsletter and all of our programs and activities.  If you then want to sign up, we will have you fill out the membership paperwork and pay the dues.  You can also take home all of the information to look it over and make a decision later.

You’re welcome to stop by for a tour anytime during our regular senior center hours, or to schedule a tour for a day and time that works best for you. View our hours, phone number, or send us an email.

I have additional questions, how can I reach you?
We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have. You can reach us by phone, email or stopping by the center.
