Since 1956, our mission has been to provide services and community resources that help seniors, adults with special needs, and their caregivers live independent, fulfilling lives. Simply put, we aim to enable people to remain at home, where they are most comfortable and happy, for as long as safely possible.
Over the past 60+ years, we have grown from a senior citizen center into a multi-program, community-based service agency that serves not only Montgomery County but the Greater Miami Valley and beyond. Each year, we support more than 15,000 individuals, addressing challenges that make seniors particularly vulnerable, including nutrition, safety, personal care, mental health, and social well-being.
Our comprehensive “cluster of services” benefits clients, caregivers, and case managers alike. By offering multiple services through a single provider, we simplify care coordination and reduce the stress of navigating complex systems. Initiating in-home services can often be confusing and exhausting—but our agency provides all services under one roof, with one dedicated point of contact. This approach saves time, minimizes day-to-day frustrations, and ensures that problems and concerns are addressed promptly and efficiently.

The Senior Citizens Center of the Greater Dayton Area opened in 1956 at a donated storefront at 210 South Main Street in Dayton with a Director and two part-time assistants. Seniors now had a place with opportunities for fun activities and constructive use of leisure time, a centralized place for public education and training on aging, and a hub to find referrals to community resources. Eleven seniors joined on the day the doors opened and eighteen months later there were 430 members.
In 1969, the organization settled into the specially designed building at 105 S. Wilkinson Street, designed by Levin & Porter Architects, and continued as a senior citizen's center. When it became obvious there was a significant need for home-based services in Dayton and surrounding areas, we adapted to meet the needs of home-bound seniors with great social and economic need. In 1996, our name was officially changed to Senior Resource Connection. As our services continued to expand, more centralized office space was needed. In 2005, we purchased a 2-story building at 222 Salem Avenue to house administrative services along with many programs such as Representative Payee, Case Management, Protective Services, Visiting Home Care, Care Coordination, Caregiver Support, Medication Dispensers and Emergency Response. Our Nutrition programs, Meals on Wheels and Congregate Dining, remained at the Wilkinson building and continue operations from there still today.
We continue to serve approximately 15,000 seniors, special needs adults, and their caregivers each year.
Senior Resource Connection plays a vital role in supporting seniors and adults with special needs who wish to live safely and independently in the community. Through a coordinated network of nutrition services, home health support, case management, financial assistance, and emergency response programs, the organization helps individuals maintain stability, health, and dignity in their daily lives.
Demand for these services has grown steadily in recent years, particularly for home-delivered meals and in-home supports. Senior Resource Connection has responded by expanding capacity, improving operational efficiency, and adapting service delivery models to ensure continuity of care for those most in need.
At the Downtown Dayton facility, kitchen operations have been scaled to increase meal production, delivery routes have been optimized to serve more households, and intake teams work diligently to enroll new participants and connect them with appropriate services in a timely manner. At the Salem location, staff have implemented flexible service approaches, including expanded remote case management and nursing support, to improve access while maintaining high standards of care.
Across all programs, home health aides, drivers, case managers, administrative staff, and leadership collaborate to deliver reliable, person-centered services. Their commitment ensures that seniors and adults with special needs receive consistent support that promotes independence, improves quality of life, and reduces the risk of institutionalization.
Senior Resource Connection’s impact is measured not only in services delivered, but in the strengthened well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Through dedicated staff and responsive programming, the organization continues to serve as a trusted partner in helping vulnerable populations age in place with safety, dignity, and choice.
