The Franklin Senior Center is the focal point for elderly and disabled residents in our community. It provides an "infrastructure of support" by offering vital community supports that help older and disabled residents to remain independent in the community. It is usually the first place a senior or family member goes for services, information, or assistance. Our goal is to improve health status, reduce health disparities, increase economic security, decrease caregiver stress, and increase the independence of older and disabled adults. These goals
are achieved through programs, services and activities offered by the Franklin Senior Center. Programs are offered to all Franklin resident aged sixty or older and disabled residents.
