History

Our History

Here at the Senior Resource Center, we have had name changes over the years including, Services for the Aging, the Department of Aging, and the Senior Resource Center.

Our location has moved several times over the years (Fifth & Chestnut, Lucille Shuffler Building on Carolina Beach Road, and in February, 1992, the current location opened at 2222 South College Road). 

In February, 1992, the current location opened at 2222 South College Road. In October 2020, our interior building went through a large renovation and updating. Although the names and locations have changed, the focus on senior issues, needs, and services remains our top priority.
