Learn more about ADA Concierge ServicesDisability Network Lakeshore is a Center for Independent Living, a nonprofit run by and for people with disabilities. A majority of our board and staff live with disabilities themselves, so the support we offer is grounded in real, everyday experience.
Centers for Independent Living are built on a simple belief: people with disabilities are the experts on their own lives. We do not decide what is best for you. We listen, share what we know, and help you reach the goals you set for yourself, so you can live independently and take part fully in your community.
We welcome people of all ages with any kind of disability, along with their families and caregivers. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or paperwork to reach out, and individual services are always free.

From Our Blog
September is Healthy Aging Month, a time to celebrate growing older and to take practical steps toward staying healthy, active, and independent. Most of us feel the same way about where we want to grow older: at home. Surveys consistently find that a large majority of adults over 50 want to stay in their own homes and communities as they age.
Reach out to us. We are here to listen and help you find the right resources.
