We enhance the lives of seniors through
our innovative programs and services.
Founded in 1956, North Shore Senior Center’s original intent was to enrich the lives of older adults by giving them a place to socialize, volunteer and learn. Later, counseling and social services were offered. Since our founding our mission has been to foster 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.
Our goal is to give seniors the assistance they need to live safely and comfortably in their own homes so they can “age in place” and avoid premature, long-term nursing home placement. We do this by focusing our work on: Senior and Family Services offers in-home and community-based services; House of Welcome Adult Day Services offers programs for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias; Lifelong Learning offers programs to promote physical and mental health; North Shore Senior Options provides seniors and their families options to improve safety, well-being, and quality of life—now and in the future; and Volunteer Services provides a place for our volunteers to socialize, explore their interests and find the support they need.
