Our Programs
Our Adult Protective Services Program helps vulnerable older adults and adults with disabilities experiencing abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
The Aging Well Neighborhood Program brings together older adults, businesses, healthcare and social services, and health education to create a "Health Neighborhood" that supports life-long wellness, prevention and an age-friendly community.
Being the primary caregiver for a loved one is a special role that creates a deep bond, but the additional responsibilities can increase stress. Aging Care Connections' Caregiver Specialists are trained to help caregivers deal with being a primary caretaker and for caring for themselves. Specialists offer one-on-one support at home or via phone. We listen, we discuss, we guide and we solve problems together.
Specialists with knowledge and experience in the field of aging provide older adults and their families with in-home comprehensive assessment and linkages to services, care planning and ongoing monitoring of services.
As part of the Aging and Disability Resource Network, Aging Care Connections provides Information & Assistance, Benefits Assistance and Options Counseling Programs to adults age 60 and older, disabled individuals age 18-59, and their families.
Aging Care Connections connects older adults to nutrition programs and services that provide hot, balanced meals.
Aging Care Connections, in collaboration with UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago and The Way Back Inn, and funding from the Riverside Township Mental Health Board, provides information and referral services to the residents of Riverside Township. Click the button above for more information.
