Paterson Adult Day Center

The Paterson Adult Day Center was the first and currently the only Social Senior Day Center in the entire city of Paterson, established over 43 years ago.

The center provides socialization, a hot nutritious mid day meal, social services support, transportation and activities to 25 seniors, 60 years and older living in Paterson.

In 2023 Paterson Adult Day Center welcomed artist-in-residence Yurbi Aquino to lead “Sparky Seniors”, an interactive creative and performance arts program incorporating music, movement, storytelling, and crafts into a 16 week calendar of events. This program was made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment of the Arts.
