About Us
The Senior Source champions older adults. We empower active seniors to live with purpose and protect vulnerable older adults. We advocate for all of our rights as we age and ensure that financial and emotional well-being is achievable.
Our Purpose, Vision, Values and Strategic Plan
The seniors and their families we serve aren’t two-dimensional and neither are the services that we will offer. We must embrace efficient and effective solutions. We must provide a welcoming culture to new employees, and we must grow our sphere of influence. Join us in this next dimension of aging.
Our History
The Senior Source began in 1961 as the Senior Citizens Foundation of Dallas, providing assistance to older adults in Dallas County. Over the next 60 years, the agency added volunteer opportunities, nursing home resources, guardianship services, financial assistance and protection, fraud and scam prevention, employment services, and support for caregivers in Dallas and Collin Counties. In 2008, The Senior Source moved to its current location on Harry Hines Boulevard. In 2014, it launched a first-of-its-kind Elder Financial Safety Center to provide financial empowerment to older adults.
Who We Serve
The Senior Source is proud to serve all older adults regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
