Only around 4% of people over the age of 65 live in nursing homes,[1] but senior groups are beneficial for those who continue to live independently, too.
There are over 11,000 senior centers in the country, and they serve over one million people each day,[1] showing a demand for senior-focused activities.
Senior citizen groups offer opportunities for friendships and fun outings. You can plan group exercises, walking clubs, gardening clubs, book clubs, continuing education classes, art classes, crafts, or local excursions[2] — all activities that will help keep the mind and body sharp!
We have more than 190 names for senior citizen groups below, from catchy to inspirational. Plus, scroll below the list for our tips on creating our own senior group name ideas!

Tips for Creating a Great Senior Citizen Group Name
Senior groups take many forms; members head out for fun excursions or day trips, play games like Scrabble or Chess, or just meet to chat and share a meal.
A simple name that reflects your group’s favorite activities can work well, but to create a more unique name like those in our list above, consider the following tips:
- Consider the personalities in your group. Similar people tend to enjoy each other’s company, so you might find that your group has a distinct personality. Are your group members sarcastic, mild-mannered, or bookish? Take that into account when creating your group name. Some groups will prefer sweet and nostalgic names, while others will like names that poke fun at growing old.
- Use puns and wordplay. If your group isn’t into sarcastic or crude humor, you can still incorporate humor into your name through puns and wordplay. Names like “Early Bird Specials” will make everyone chuckle without offending.
- Keep it positive. The focus of most senior citizen groups is social interaction; a positive name, rather than one too serious or exclusive, will make your group seem fun and welcoming to potential members.
- Don’t ignore your group’s age! Your age is something to be proud of, and the name of your group shouldn’t ignore the years you’ve lived! This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to choose a name with words like “old” or “aging” — you can also get inspiration from pop culture references that will only make sense to your age group.
