Senior Services
There is much to do for seniors who live in the region. Meet your peers at one of the area's senior centers. Join a club. Volunteer with one of our many not-for-profit organizations. Or play some Bingo— the game was actually created by Hugh J. Ward in Pittsburgh in the early 1920s.
With one of the highest senior populations in the country, the Pittsburgh region offers many amenities to its senior residents. For a list of senior services and other resources, review the Allegheny County Senior Resource Guide, a 100-page publication created by Pittsburgh Senior News in cooperation with Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging. Or see the Senior Citizen's Guide to Pittsburgh.
