AgeOptions

AgeOptions funds the Senior Medicare Patrol program which educates elderly about healthcare fraud. 

AgeOptions has established a reputation for meeting the needs, wants and expectations of the senior population in suburban Cook County. Their purpose is to connect older adults, aged 60 and over, with resources and options for care so that they can have a full range of choices and live their lives to the fullest. Their role is to plan, fund, coordinate and advocate for this special group and their family caregivers.

Their primary service area includes 130 communities – home to more than two million residents with a population of almost 430,000 older adults. Together with their service partners, we annually reach more than 100,000 people who come to them from diverse backgrounds. AgeOptions embraces diversity in aging – across race, ethnicity, culture, language, experience and lifestyle. These qualities contribute greatly to the richness of our communities. At the same time, the unique differences challenge us to regularly evaluate who we are and what we do.
