The FiftyForward Martin Center is, in a nutshell, Brentwood’s senior center where no one is treated like a “senior.” Instead all are considered active, growing individuals with varied interests and passions.
“The Martin Center is a place to keep people happy and active as they age. It’s a really unique place,” programming director Sherry Coss said. “This is not your typical senior center.”
Those who attend the center range in age from 50-96, and they take part in travel trips, fitness classes, writing and games of all kinds.
