Senior activity centers are the focal point for many daily
and special programs offered by the Department of Aging & Human
Services, including the mid-day meal program, opportunities for
socialization and recreation, fitness opportunities, and access
to special staff services. The Division of Senior Center
Operations strives to provide a variety of high quality,
dynamic, affordable programs and activities for the independent
senior community that promote good health, fitness, education,
socialization, and the development of skills and interests.
The Department operates three senior activity centers, that open
at 8:00 a.m.
Monday through Friday. Doors close at 4:30 p.m. and all
activities end at 5:00 p.m. These are the Garvey
Senior Activity Center in the main County Government complex in
Leonardtown, the Loffler Senior Activity Center at Chancellor's
Run Park in Great Mills, and the Northern Senior Activity Center
on Charlotte Hall Road just north of the Veteran’s Home.
