Ishpeming Multi- Purpose Senior Center

Where every senior feels at home, every day.

Dedicated to the seniors on the West End of Marquette County — providing nourishing meals, meaningful activities, wellness support, and a place to belong, day after day.

A Place to Call Home

Since 1982, the Greater Ishpeming Commission on Aging (GICOA) has provided a warm, supportive home for seniors in West Marquette County. Our mission is simple: to help our residents live independently with dignity as they age in place in their community.

In 2021, we moved into a brand-new 3,000-square-foot facility on Greenwood Street — purpose-built for accessibility and comfort. Made possible by a $1.9 million grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and the generosity of our neighbors, this space was designed with our residents in mind.

We serve adults 60 and older in the City of Ishpeming and the townships of Ishpeming, Tilden, Ely, Champion, Humboldt, Michigamme, and Republic. From daily activities, weekly meals and casework services that keep body and mind engaged, we're here to make every day a good one.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we're supported by the Marquette County Senior Millage, the Upper Peninsula Area Agency on Aging, United Way, and caring people like you.
