Adults 50 & Better

The Farmington Hills Adults 50 & Better Program began in 1974 as a drop in program two days a week. One of the very first groups to form was the Painter's Group which still meets today. The Adults 50 & Better program has steadily grown over the years and now provides recreation, travel, education, socialization, fitness, volunteer opportunities, and nutrition, transportation and outreach services.

Daily events are held at the Costick Activities Center, Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM, with scheduled evening and weekend programs. Please see “The Messenger", the Adults 50 & Better Program’s monthly newsletter, and the Special Services Activities Guide for updated information on all available programs and services.

The Farmington Area Commission on Aging recognizes that seniors benefit when they have access to nutrition, education, resources, and age-appropriate activities. The Commission provides support for seniors, actively encourages them to remain in our community, and formally recognizes individuals, businesses, and organizations that make Farmington/Farmington Hills senior friendly. Meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of the month at the Costick Center, located at 28600 Eleven Mile Road in Farmington Hills (April, May, June, September, October, and November) or at Farmington City Hall, located at 23600 Liberty Street in Farmington (January, February, and March). For more information, contact staff liaison Marsha Koet at 248-473-1821 or via email, or visit the Commission on Aging website.
