These resources can help you find help
When preparing aging services, you may have a cloud of questions and fears. Fortunately, many Chicago region organizations provide useful resources for a set of situations. Start by reviewing these service categories to see the type of resources that you may need to take into account.
Review lists for the online Chicago region organizations at Seniors Blue Book, (Seniorsbluebook.com/local/chicago) and ElderWerks Educcation Services (ElderWerks.org). An excellent introductory to reach around him is the one who will take care of me when I am old? By local writer Joy Lovede.
As always, quality is important in choosing service providers. Consider whether the provider is an active member of a local health care group such as IL-COC.ORG. These adult umbrellas and larger care providers link community services: age in Cook Province (AGEOFTIONS.ORG), AgeGuide.org, Chicago Service for Family and Support Services in Chicyofchicago.org/ing.
