Hoffman Estates spans four townships — Schaumburg, Palatine, Hanover and Barrington — so the senior office your parent uses depends on their address. Here’s each, with the official numbers.
Where older adults in Hoffman Estates go for company and for help.
Hoffman Estates has a dedicated senior center and a township office that handles benefits, and they are two different organizations.
The senior center is the Hap & Jan Wittkamp Senior Center, run by the Hoffman Estates Park District. It’s inside the Triphahn Center at 1685 W. Higgins Road, and the number is 847-885-7500. It offers free and low-cost programs, activities, and services for adults 50 and older, along with affordable senior fitness memberships. The center was formerly known as the 50+ Club and was renamed in October 2020, so older listings may use the old name.
The township is Schaumburg Township. Its Older Adult Services office is at 1 Illinois Boulevard in Hoffman Estates, and it serves township residents 55 and over. It offers Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP counseling, senior health insurance guidance, legal help with wills and powers of attorney, free or discounted transit programs, home weatherization and utility help, door-to-door transportation, and food pantry access.
Township boundaries don’t match village lines, so confirm your parent’s address with the township office (Disability & Senior Services, 847-285-4541) before you plan around a service.
If your parent is thinking about selling the family home, our Downsizing room-by-room guide and When to move an aging parent cover the decisions in the order they come up.
