The Department's mission for the Palmer Center is to encourage the well-being of older adults in Independence. Opportunities are made available through Whole Person Wellness Programs based on the Seven Dimensions of Wellness model. Adults 60 years of age and older can engage in programs that focus on physical and mental exercise, health, nutrition, music and dance, social events, holiday gatherings, special events, a travel program and a daily luncheon program which includes home delivered meals and meals served in our dining hall. The Palmer Center is a place for older adults to find resources to continue to live vital, independent and healthy lifestyles. Do you have a special skill or would you like to give your time to the community in a meaningful way?

The Center has an outdoor patio, gymnasium, fitness room, meeting spaces, game & craft room, media lab, the Catherine J.A. Curtis Dining Hall, and a kitchen. Rental space is available for special events.
