Key Takeaways
NISC's accreditation process improves and strengthens overall operations, resulting in an official recognition that a senior center is meeting its mission in a nationally accepted, professional fashion.
More than 200 senior centers have been accredited, and many more are in the process.
These are the 2021 nationally accredited senior centers as of February 1, 2021.
NCOA’s National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) offers the nation’s only National Senior Center Accreditation Program.
To advance the quality of senior centers nationwide, NISC developed the program with nine standards of excellence for senior center operations. These standards serve as a guide for all senior centers to improve their operations today—and position themselves for the future.
