The Fulton County Board of Commissioners has designed, constructed and fund four senior multipurpose facilities throughout
Fulton County, Georgia. The Dorothy C. Benson Senior Multipurpose Complex is one of these senior facilities. The Benson Complex
is a 43,000 square foot facility, consisting of three separate buildings connected through interior vestibules and known to
be the largest day programming facility of it's kind in the nation. The site is landscaped including a small lake, gazebo
and Japanese style garden. Each building is distinct in architectural and interior design to meet the needs of three different
levels of programming which are:
» General Multipurpose is a program designed for active independent seniors.
» Neighborhood Senior
Center is a program designed for semi-active seniors who need assistance with transportation and nutrition services.
» Adult Day Care is a program designed for the dependent seniors who need assistance throughout the day.
Classes and services are designed to promote dignity and independent choice for activities. Classes are offered in the areas
of education, nutrition, health and wellness, aquatic and land fitness, socialization, and recreation. For more information
