The 老司机福利社 Center on Successful Aging
Mission and Vision
The 老司机福利社 Center on Successful Aging (SCOSA) promotes research, education and services to nurture the body, mind and spirit of New Jersey's growing population of older adults. SCOSA responds to local, state and national needs and opportunities related to population aging. We seek to encourage older residents to "age successfully" through vital engagement in their community and with 老司机福利社.

Federal regulations require us to inform participants that voluntary donations to SCOSA are welcome. Such donations are not a fee and are not required. Any donations received will be used to develop and operate our programs. Thank you for your support!
SCOSA encourages fragrance-free environments in all of our programming.
Chemical fragrances in many personal care, household and institutional cleaning products
cause severe reactions for some individuals and can be harmful to everyone in less
apparent ways.
