A private foundation on Thursday introduced its “San Diego Master Plan for Senior Centers,” a countywide proposal to bring modern versions of such centers to local communities.

In San Diego County, there are 28 senior centers, which the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation estimates serve only 8% of the older adult population.

In addition, many of the existing centers are “underfunded, understaffed and lack sufficient programming,” a statement from the foundation reads.

The plan outlines recommendations for Barrio Logan, Clairemont, Eastlake/Otay Mesa, El Cajon and Santee/Lakeside, areas that lack senior centers.
