Lifelong Learning and Memory Care for Seniors

North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) is being spotlighted throughout the month of June on the Community Art Wall located in the lobby of First Bank Chicago. The new exhibit highlights their mission to provide nurturing and engaging experiences for people living with memory loss and support to their family caregivers.

“Most people know NSSC for its educational Lifelong Learning programs, social clubs, and fitness offerings,” said Amy Krause, Director of Marketing & Communications, North Shore Senior Center. “Collaborating with First Bank Chicago to promote our memory care programs and support resources is a wonderful opportunity to showcase other ways we support older adults and their families.”

NSSC’s House of Welcome Adult Day Program practices a person-centered approach, a philosophy that focuses on the individual and their unique personality and needs. Participants enjoy socialization, opportunities to make friends, and meaningful activities while their family caregivers get much needed time on their own. Caregivers receive personalized assessments and care plans, supportive counseling, and tools and resources to help them better care for their family members.

The Day Program is located at NSSC’s Arthur C. Nielsen, Jr. Campus in Northfield, adjacent to the main building where older adults enjoy a myriad of Lifelong Learning programs, clubs, and social opportunities. The Northfield center also houses a fitness center and gym, a library, a lending closet, and a vintage shop, where donations are accepted year-round. In addition, NSSC offers many in-home and community-based programs and services to help older people maintain their independence, as well as counseling and personal money management services.

Volunteer opportunities are abundant at NSSC as volunteers play a critical role in NSSC’s daily operations and overall success. Volunteers assist staff in all areas including enriching the lives of people living with dementia at the House of Welcome Day Program, working with older adults and their families through Senior and Family Services, or helping to create a welcoming space for the community to gather, learn, and socialize.

The North Shore Senior Center exhibit is located in the bank lobby and will be open to the public during regular business hours throughout the month of June.
