The Paducah/McCracken County Senior Center is a non-profit
organization dedicated to providing the senior citizens of
this area with services that will allow them to maintain their
independence and dignity.

The Senior Center and offices are housed in the Paducah City
Parks building. The senior center programs, meal program,
dining room, senior activity room and activities are run
independently.
Their mission is to provide opportunity for the “young at
heart” to meet and enjoy a wide variety of social, educational,
health and recreational activities and programs and to promote
the positive aspects of aging to them, their families and the
community at large.

Through programs designed specifically for the homebound
seniors, many older citizens are able to remain in their homes
continuing to live independently. The more active seniors
enjoy the opportunity to socialize, learn and generally enjoy
their leisure time.
