- The Hub @ 1701 is a unique and contemporary version of a senior center. It will not replace Elder Care Services' existing programs. It will make them more visible, accessible, preventive, and connected to everyday community life. An older adult may first visit for coffee, a book discussion, a Master Gardener class, or a Confidence Corner experience, then seamlessly connect with Information and Assistance, Care Coordination, SHIP, Money Management, Cozy Corner, or other trusted supports as needs arise.
