Seniors dancing at the Fruitvale San Antonio Senior Center<code></code>Through three residential senior housing facilities and the Fruitvale-San Antonio Senior Center, we provide high quality supportive services to over 1000 low-income, monolingual and multi-ethnic seniors aged 50 and older. In February 2004, the senior center moved to a new City of Oakland facility at the Fruitvale Village. The FSC addresses the cultural/linguistic needs of the community’s increasingly diverse elderly population by providing services in Cambodian, Spanish and English. The Fruitvale-San Antonio Senior Center is dedicated to promoting healthy and on-going social, educational and physical development for seniors on a daily basis by providing information and referral and a rich array of activities.
