Developed with funding from Community Memorial Foundation, Aging Care Connections’ Aging Well Neighborhood program brings together older adults, businesses, and healthcare and social services to create a “Health Neighborhood” that promotes life-long wellness, supports aging at home, addresses chronic conditions, offers health education, and helps build an age-friendly community in Greater Lyons Township.
Programming includes: evidence-based health workshops, expert speakers, preventative screenings, support groups and healthy choices information. The Business Community Alliance works with local businesses to support the rapidly growing older adult population—ensuring they are adapting and welcoming of this group. Composed of older adults, Aging Well Teams work to provide educational and social activities in the Lyons, Riverside, and South Proviso Townships. We also provide individual support for at-risk older adults. |
