North Shore Senior Center
Our mission is to support the independence and well-being of older adults, enhance their dignity and self respect, and promote their participation in and contribution toward all aspects of community life. Since 1956 we have helped older adults remain in their homes with independence, dignity and connection to their communities.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization, with highly-trained social workers, counselors and professionals on staff. Together, this team provides programs and events for active older adults, as well as information and outreach services for families. North Shore Senior Center's social workers also provide assistance to seniors at hospitals, park districts, senior centers and senior living communities throughout the metropolitan area. As a means of furthering its mission, North Shore Senior Center provides many outlets for intellectual and social growth. At the Arthur C.
