The Carmel Foundation supports healthy aging by helping older adults remain active, connected, independent, and engaged through an integrated model of lifelong learning, wellness, nutrition, affordable housing, social connection, and aging navigation, extending the healthspan of older adults.
What if growing older meant not simply adding years to life, but adding life to those years?
The Carmel Foundation makes healthy aging possible by bringing social connection, lifelong learning, fitness and wellness, affordable meals and resource navigation together in a welcoming community. Membership is open to anyone 55 or older, regardless of where they live.
We serve 25,000+ meals and offer 65+ weekly classes and activities. Our Wellness Center helps older adults build strength and improve balance. We help older adults and their families find resources, understand their options and navigate the challenges of aging, so no one has to face them alone.
We also provide affordable housing: 50 apartments, nearly all the affordable housing in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Your gift helps 3,200+ members remain active, independent, connected, and engaged, extending healthspan - not just lifespan.
Founded by neighbors. Proven by science. Together, we’re creating a community where older adults thrive.
The Carmel Foundation is such an extraordinary place. It helped me through some tough and lonely experiences.
