As Rolesville continues to expand and develop into a resourceful and unified community, our goal is to curate a space livable for people of all ages including the senior community. The Town of Rolesville stands ready to assist its seniors in a multitude of ways and assure that everyone is not only seen but heard and looked after.
This page serves as a home base for seniors that are looking for resources and information on benefits, programs, and upcoming activities or events.

Senior Assistance Programs
The Senior Network
The Senior Network finds and fulfills the needs of senior citizens of all backgrounds and walks of life. Many seniors, even those with family nearby, are unable to find assistance with various tasks. More times than not, they are left unable to enjoy various aspects of their lives, due to a lack of support from their local community. The Senior Network is ready to step in and help fulfill the need. Even if that need is simply senior community or a sense of fellowship, we are waiting with arms wide open.
