Located on the border of the Bowery and Chinatown, in Sara Delano Roosevelt Park, BRC’s Senior Center connects the elders from these communities with vital community services that help them stay healthy, independent, and connected with their communities.
Over the years, the demographics of the neighborhood around the Senior Center have changed, and we have changed with them.
​
Today, the center employs staff who are fluent in all major Chinese dialects to serve elderly clients who are primarily Chinese, many of whom are marginally housed, medically frail, and chronically ill.​
