About Senior Connections
Serving Douglas County Older Adults, Individuals with Disabilities, and Caregivers for Over 40 Years
Senior Connections is Douglas County’s designated Aging Unit, proudly serving adults ages 60 and older throughout the community for over 40 years. Located within the Lew Martin Senior Center in Superior, Wisconsin, Senior Connections provides trusted programs, services, resources, and support to help individuals remain active, informed, independent, and connected.
As the County Aging Unit, Senior Connections provides services and programs to individuals ages 60 and older as established under the Older Americans Act. Additionally, Senior Connections provides Specialized Transportation services to individuals ages 55 and older, as well as individuals with disabilities, helping community members maintain independence and access the resources they need.
The purpose of Senior Connections is to provide advocacy, information, and a broad range of services that promote dignity, self-reliance, and quality of life for older adults and individuals with disabilities. We are committed to helping individuals remain independent for as long as possible while responding to the changing needs of our community.

Senior Connections provides services regardless of race, color, creed, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, familial status, national origin, or level of income. We are committed to ensuring equal access to all programs and services while promoting inclusion and respect for every individual we serve.
Senior Connections continually assesses the needs of older adults throughout Douglas County and works with available community resources to provide meaningful services and support. Where possible, programs are targeted toward individuals who are most vulnerable or experiencing the greatest social and economic needs.
Senior Connections also recognizes the needs of individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) and has developed systems to ensure meaningful access to services. No qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any Senior Connections program, service, or activity.
