About

The Frisbie Senior Center is a drop-in activity center for older active adults living in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.  Through the Center, our membership and non-member daily users have access to a 20,000-square foot, ADA-accessible facility that offers well over 65 different program and service types – some occurring multiple times throughout the month.  Aside from a variety of social and recreational activities offered, we also strive to serve as a resource clearinghouse, connecting individuals with organizations that can provide much-needed services to address the issues facing today’s seniors.
