Aging in Place is the ability to live in Swarthmore througout your life, with all the services and amenities that you need for a full life.
The Association has formed various committees to carry on with the work set out by the Borough of Swarthmore's Aging-in-Place Task Force report, implementing those recommendations that we have the resources to accomplish. The Task Force that originally researched and made these recommendations has completed its work and has been disbanded. These Committees consist of citizens who are dedicated to continuing the work of the original Task Force. See the list of on-going projects below.
The next Senior Wellness Fair will be held on March 25, 2023. Be on the lookout for more information about the Wellness Fair.

A TimeBank promotes community sharing of time and talent that not only benefits seniors in the Borough, but will be of benefit to all its citizens. Timebanking is a time-based currency that helps to build circles and networks of mutual support. With a TimeBank, you give one hour of service to another, and receive one hour credit. An hour is always an hour regardless of the service offered. You can use your credits in turn to receive services, or you can donate them to others.
