When a closure occurs, the Office of Transportation will provide riders an early departure from the centers. Senior activity center staff will remain on site until every member has safely left the premises.
For updates, tune into a local radio or TV station. Announcements about Anne Arundel County senior activity center delays or closings due to inclement weather will be made through:
Visit the link below for the BGE Outage Report Page to check the status of power restoration or to report an outage. Outages can also be reported by calling 877-778-2222 or texting "OUT" to 69243

The Longevity Ready Maryland (LRM) plan is Maryland's first comprehensive, 10-year multisector plan designed to coordinate services and policies to support the state's growing population of older adults. It was initiated by an Executive Order signed by Governor Wes Moore in early 2024.
The plan is a collaborative, long-term effort that aims to:
Consolidate resources and coordinate efforts across government agencies, businesses, and communities.
Transform systems of care to more sustainably accommodate the increasing number of older Marylanders.
Ensure all Marylanders can live lives that are healthy, financially secure, socially connected, and purposeful.
The LRM plan is structured around four main "Epic Goals":
Build a Longevity Ecosystem: Create supportive and inclusive communities for all ages and abilities and build collective capacity at the local level.
Promote Economic Opportunity: Support a multigenerational workforce with opportunities for all ages and abilities while advancing Maryland's economic competitiveness.
Prepare Marylanders to Afford Longevity: Improve economic security and affordability for the "100-year lifespan" through affordable housing, health care, financial literacy, and long-term support services.
Optimize Health, Wellness, and Mobility: Invest in programs that support healthier, more purposeful, and active lifestyles so Marylanders can enjoy longevity and reduce dependency.
The plan includes specific actions like launching a new statewide dementia navigation program, expanding access to home- and community-based services, and modernizing the state's information and referral network.
8-year-old Pierogi is searching for her forever home after being rescued from an overcrowded shelter. She is a big, beautiful girl with an even bigger personality, and she never fails to make those around her smile. Pierogi is friendly, outgoing, and always ready to head out for a walk, where she can stretch her legs and enjoy exploring her surroundings.
In addition to her love for walks, Pierogi enjoys running around and has a great time playing with her toys. She has done well around other dogs when properly introduced. Currently weighing around 80 pounds, Pierogi is looking forward to shedding a few extra pounds in the new year with regular exercise and a healthy routine in her new home.
Pierogi would do best with a family committed to helping her stay active while also giving her plenty of love and attention. If you’re interested in meeting this fun-loving girl and helping her start her next chapter, please visit our website and submit an adoption application today.
