Description:
The Center for Active Seniors, Inc.(CASI) is a multi-service, nationally accredited senior center providing a variety of social, educational, support and wellness activities and programs designed for adults 50+. Supportive services include the Aging Resource and Advocacy Center which links older adults, their families and caregivers with local, state and federal benefits and programs. These supportive services enable them to maintain their independence and remain in their home and community for a longer length of time. Jane's Place, CASI's Adult Day Center, offers therapeutic activities within a group setting to disabled adults and older adults needing a more supervised and supportive environment.

History:
CASI was founded in 1973 by the merger of the Scott County Commission on Aging and Senior Iowans, a program of the Davenport Catholic Charities.
CASI has served the QCA for thiry five years by helping the older adults of Scott County meet nutrional, emotional and health related needs. For 16 years CASI's headquarters was the Lend A Hand Building in downtown Davenport. In 1990, due to riverfront development, the center was relocated to its current location. The expansion of the facility in 2006 has allowed CASI to increase the number of programs and services offered to older adults and the QCA communtiy.
