While this issue, U.S. 1’s annual Winter Wellness issue, is devoted to wellness in a broad sense — both physical and mental and across all ages and abilities — many area organizations are dedicated to the specific and evolving needs of aging adults. One example is the nonprofit formerly known as the Princeton Senior Resource Center, which has announced a rebranding to better reflect the modern experience of aging.
Now known as the Center for Modern Aging Princeton, the organization made the following announcement in late December:
Today marks a significant milestone in the journey of the Princeton Senior Resource Center. We are excited to announce that beginning in January, our beloved center will begin doing business as (DBA) Center for Modern Aging Princeton.
This new name reflects our commitment to embracing the dynamic, diverse, and ever-evolving needs of our aging community. It’s not just a change of name; it’s a renewal of our promise to provide innovative, inclusive, and forward-thinking services.
Reimagining Aging. For years, society has had its vision of how older adults should think, act, dress, eat, walk, talk — and live. And we’ve had ours.
We know they’re looking for more than just crafts, crossword puzzles, and rocking chairs.
We know they want to make new memories, not just relive old ones.
We know they’re not afraid to go out of their comfort zone. They love to try new foods, learn about other cultures, and embrace technology.
We know they don’t like to lose. In fact, they can be pretty competitive. Just ask our champion table tennis team!
We know they like to travel to new places — both physically and virtually.
We know they value their independence — and want support to “age-in-place,” in whatever form is most appropriate for them.
And most of all we know today’s older population isn’t like previous generations of “seniors.” (Oh, and we also know most aren’t fond of being called seniors.)
How do we know so much about what this population likes? It’s pretty simple, actually. We listen.
We’ve been serving the older adult community throughout the region for five decades. As their needs have evolved, our organization has as well. Our new name, facility, and vision reflect the way we see older adults and, more importantly, the way they see themselves. Energized. Bold. Modern.
Welcome to a new generation of aging. And welcome to the Center for Modern Aging Princeton!
We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. Together, we will continue to build on our legacy and live out our mission to help older adults thrive. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to new beginnings and continued success at the Center for Modern Aging Princeton!
New Name, New Website. The Center for Modern Aging Princeton will soon be introducing our brand new website at www.cmaprinceton.org.
The new site will launch in January — and will not only include a fresh new design, but also a participant portal that will simplify our registration process and give logged-in users the ability to update their contact information, view their course registrations, and much more.
The website will also feature a robust, filterable calendar of activities, the ability to make and manage your donations, and access to all our renowned community resources. You will also be able to directly share feedback or ideas with our staff, connect with our social services team, and so much more. We are excited to welcome you to our new virtual home!
Be on the lookout in early January for an announcement that our new site is live!
CMAP. The Center for Modern Aging Princeton, is a community nonprofit where aging adults and their families find support, guidance, education, and social programs to help them navigate life transitions and continue to be active, healthy, and engaged in the community.
