HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

We’re all getting older — every day. This looks different to each of us but most share common aging goals: to age well, age in our homes, and remain independent contributors to our communities. So where do we go if we need a little — or a lot of — help along the path to aging?

In Southwest Suburban Cook County, Pathlights is the “go-to” community resource. Our programs and services provide care, food, and safety so older adults and adults with disabilities can remain in their homes with dignity for as long as possible. Learn more about our programs and services below.

CARE

Our resources can enhance your life and aid caregivers, friends, and family with in-house services, support groups, Respite, benefits’ assistance, and options for safe transition from hospitals or skilled nursing facilities.

Food

Sometimes accessing basic nutrition can be a challenge for older adults living independently or with limitations. We can help with home-delivered meals and assistance with Illinois SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps.

SAFETY

Our trained professionals work with the Illinois Department on Aging to investigate abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults and adults with disabilities, and educate our community how to take action to prevent abuse.

Pathlights Presents “The Holiday Give”

We need your help this holiday season. Please consider helping Pathlights so we can empower more neighbors who need a little — or a lot of — help along the path to aging. We hope to raise $25,000 by the end of 2023 so we can provide care, food, and safety to more people in our community.
