West County Senior
Resource Center

The Russian River Senior Resource Center strives to enrich and strengthen the lives of seniors living in rural West Sonoma County. Their particular mission is to empower seniors to live independently by strengthening their family network. As Diane Spain, Senior Services Director says, “For seniors, family can be relatives, friends, pets and neighbors. We are often like a second family to those who come to the Senior Center, especially for those who have lost important people in their lives.

Located on Armstrong Woods Road in Guerneville since 1986, the Russian River Senior Resource Center is the only local resource for seniors living in West Sonoma County. Many seniors are physically isolated from services they need to help them stay in their homes. Highly visible and respected in the community, the Center is often the first point of contact for a senior or family when looking for help. The Center provides life sustaining and life enriching services that assist seniors in living productive, independent and meaningful lives.
