Every May, communities across the country celebrate Older Americans Month, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of older adults. This year’s national theme, Champion Your Health, invites each of us to take an active role in our well-being—physically, mentally, and socially.

As the holiday season approaches, the warmth of gatherings and traditions can sometimes highlight feelings of isolation for older adults separated from family or living alone. Aging Care Connections has tips for making the holidays rich and meaningful when you're on your own.

May is a vibrant month for our community, marking Older Americans Month, along with Mental Health Awareness Month, National Walking Month, and Arthritis Awareness Month. At Aging Care Connections (ACC), we’re celebrating by showcasing how our programs empower older adults to age well in Lyons, Proviso, Riverside, Leyden, and Norwood Park townships.

Make your multigenerational holidays times filled with stories, traditions old and new, laughter, and love.

While cooking for a family can be challenging, cooking for one or two seems dull by comparison. Tips for making food prep fun again.
