Durham Center for Senior Life
For 75+ years, older adults in Durham have had a place designed just for them—a place to learn, grow, connect, and feel valued. That place is the Durham Center for Senior Life (DCSL), located right in the heart of downtown.
DCSL started back in 1949 as the Golden Age Society, the very first senior center in the city. Five remarkable community members—Dr. John Lucas, Patricia Robertson, Jack Press, Becky Hernon, and Howard Clement III—recognized a need and took action. Over the decades, the organization evolved, becoming the Council for Senior Citizens in 1968 and officially receiving its current name in 2010. But its purpose remains as strong as ever: to empower adults 55+ to live healthy, active, independent lives.
