Senior Services of Alexandria (formerly Senior Citizens Employment & Services) is a full-service community organization with more than 30 years experience dedicated to helping Alexandria's seniors.

In 1968, Alexandria social activists founded the organization to address age discrimination in employment and to support the unique talents of our seniors as a resource for the city and its business leaders. An employment counseling service was developed to address the needs of displaced seniors age 55 and older.

As the employment program grew, it became clear that other services were needed to facilitate the continued independence of older adults. Programs for guardianship, in-home care services, and affordable chore workers have all stemmed from the recognition of these needs.

An aging population requires the skills, knowledge, and resources of an organization with the leadership, vision, and experience to identify and remedy issues that emerge and to continue to provide services that will always be needed. Senior Services of Alexandria is committed to this service and welcomes those would help us in our efforts.
