The Palatine Township Senior Citizens Council operates the Palatine Township Senior Center, a private, not-for-profit organization providing innovative, quality, cost-effective services to adults ages 50 and older in Palatine Township and Chicago's Northwest suburbs for more than 40 years.
The Palatine Township Senior Center is one of only three senior centers in Illinois that are accredited by the National Institute of Senior Centers. Its mission is to provide programs and services that support older adults and their families by encouraging independence, well-being, and connection to the community.
Recreation, Education, Health and Wellness, Noon Dining, Home Delivered Meals, Adult Day Services, and Social Services programs are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Services are available in English, Spanish and Russian at six satellite locations. The Social Services staff also makes home visits, as needed.
Senior Centers provide a place for older adults to pursue personal interests; to enhance physical, emotional and intellectual well-being; to validate self-worth and human dignity; to celebrate life experiences; receive needed social services; maintain their independence and connection to the community, and to be of value to others.
