Senior Services history
Senior Services company history timeline
On Lok began in 1971 with an idea: Traditional models of care in San Francisco were not meeting the needs of the elderly.
In 1972, Francis J. Curry, MD founded the North of Market Health Clinic, a primary health care center for low-income seniors living in the Tenderloin.
The 1978 amendments to the OAA explicitly outlined the role that local senior centers should play as ‘‘focal points’’ to bring older adults in contact with the myriad of programs and agencies designed to meet their needs.
The 30th Street Senior Center, founded in 1979 and San Francisco’s largest multipurpose senior center, becomes a part of On Lok, providing activities, meals, and bilingual services to a vibrant community of active seniors.

Caring Senior Service was founded by Jeff Salter in 1991.
By 1994, Jeff had moved to McAllen, Texas, and opened a new Caring Senior Location there.

Then, when the building next door at 315 Turk Street became available in 1999, the Board of Directors decided to buy and renovate it, and to consolidate programs into one location.
Calsyn, R., and Winter, J. ‘‘Who Attends Senior Centers?’’ Journal of Social Service Research 26 (1999): 53–69.
In 2002, Jeff determined that the best way for Caring Senior Service to grow was through franchising.
