Naperville has a growing senior population, many of whom have lived in Naperville for most of their lives. Our seniors have been instrumental in developing the Naperville we live in today and add continuing value to our City.
The City warmly embraces our seniors and wants to help connect you to information about available resources to fill your unique needs. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive listing of all services and the City does not recommend any one service. The information, services offered and qualifications for those services may change at any time. Agencies may have eligibility criteria that must be met in order to receive certain services, for example: geographic location, age, income guidelines or other criteria.
