Dallas Senior Services

More than 150,000 seniors call the city of Dallas home. Besides the obvious advantages of living in Dallas—mild winters, a thriving arts scene, great restaurants—these folks have access to dozens of senior service programs designed to help out with everything from hot meals and transportation to physical fitness and an active social life. Check out these 10 Dallas-area senior services to see what’s available for you or your friends and family.
