Centro De Amigos

Centro de Amigos is a culturally-centered Social Adult Day Center serving seniors in Rockland County, New York. Since 2016, we have provided high-quality, compassionate support to older adults — especially those at risk of isolation or institutionalization — helping them remain safely in the community they know and love.

Services are facilitated by a bilingual, highly experienced team who understands the cultural values, language, identity, and lived experiences of the Hispanic and Latino communities we serve.

At Centro de Amigos, our mission is to ensure seniors receive the social connection, education, and community support they need to lead healthy, joyful, and independent lives.
