Our Story
Past, Present, & Future....
1977
Past
Both the Coatesville and Downingtown Area Senior Centers date back to 1977, starting as “Meals Together” programs. For more than 40 years, the organizations would stand independently, serving the older adults of their respective communities.
2023 & Beyond
Future
Brandywine Valley Active Aging, launched in January 2021, will be the leading resource for older adults in the greater Coatesville and Downingtown communities. Brandywine Valley Active Aging envisions a just and caring community where everyone will feel valued, respected, and safe affording every individual the opportunity to live with dignity and purpose and to ensure equal access to positive, healthy aging.
