The John. F Kennedy Center Seeks to improve the conditions of work, play study, health and living among the lower income residents of northeast Erie City. Our Agency is responsive to the ever-changing needs of the community, with financial and program accountability, all the while maintaining a high level of integrity within our organization and among those we serve.
Active Adults
Many seniors age 60+ living in Erie City need a variety of community-based support services to help them
-
Continue to live independently in their own home;
-
Remain active, contributing members of their community; and
-
Avoid premature or unnecessary institutionalization in a long-term care facility.
The John F. Kennedy Center is a place where seniors can interact with each other and access a wide variety of services to fulfill many of their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. JFK's senior center is strategically located on Buffalo Road, between the North East and R. Benjamin Wiley senior centers. EMTA route #25 buses pass in front of JFK every 45 minutes and there is ample free parking for those who drive. The JFK senior center is unique because it is one of only three senior centers in Erie that prepares its congregate meals on-site.
A delicious, home cooked, nutritious lunch is prepared on site and served at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Menus for the meals are prepared by a Registered Dietician.
The senior center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM.
