After more than a month of renovations, the Royal Oak Senior Center reopened earlier this month with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the rejuvenated facility.

With $500,000 invested in improvements both inside and outside, including some infrastructure repairs, Director Yolanda Botello-McClain has seen an influx of residents and non-residents fill the building.

“We have all new flooring throughout the entire Senior Center, except for the three tiled floors. We have new paint, a state-of-the-art coffee bar, and all-new bathrooms, which are now ADA compliant,” she said after the facility re-opened Friday, Oct. 3. “We now have all new LED lighting throughout the entire senior center and all new ceiling tiles, along with a new reception area.”

Paid for by a grant from Oakland County
