Seniors One Stop

Are you a senior or someone assisting a senior and need help finding services and programs to meet your needs?

NSCR’s Seniors One Stop (SOS) program supports the independence, dignity, and health of seniors on the North Shore by providing information and referral to a wide range of resources and services. We are your first step to finding the information you need!

We provide information on how to access home support, meal and shopping programs, transportation options and where to attain supportive equipment. We can help you navigate information on subsidized housing, financial benefits, and referrals to legal services. SOS helps you to stay connected and active with information about social, recreational, and volunteer activities.

Our free and confidential services are offered by phone or by appointment. We will listen carefully, answer any questions you may have, and empower you with information.
