The City of Laguna Niguel seeks to develop a collaborative, community-supported Senior Center Needs Assessment (“Needs Assessment” or “Project”) that outlines how to best meet the future recreation needs of its citizens and builds economic and cultural value at the Sea Country Senior and Community Center (“Senior Center”). The Needs Assessment will be a planning document that provides a clear vision, supported by goals, policies, and objectives, to guide the City's development, expansion, and programming enhancements at the Senior Center. The Senior Center Needs Assessment will help guide Department goals and priorities for the next ten (10) years or more.

The Senior Center Needs Assessment aims to collect valuable input from seniors, stakeholders, and staff to inform future decisions on programming, activities, events, and facility usage. Key objectives include identifying current and unmet needs, evaluating satisfaction with existing services, understanding barriers to participation, assessing demographic trends and service gaps, gathering suggestions for desired programs and amenities, and providing actionable recommendations to improve services, outreach, and facility utilization.
