How Elderwerks
Supports Seniors
Elderwerks Educational Services (Elderwerks) is a social
service organization offering complimentary information, referrals, and
guidance to caregivers, families, older adults, seniors, and professionals. Our
team supports others with:
- Free senior housing information and referrals
including assisted living, memory care, independent living, senior apartments,
group homes, CCRCs, and other care options including home care.
- Benefits include local, federal, and veterans’
benefits based on your needs.
- Referrals for local services such as
elder law attorneys, geriatric care managers, money managers, Medicare experts,
or any other profession needed to help someone stay home well or transition to
a new lifestyle.
- Advocacy for seniors who aren't being
taken care of well, are being taken advantage of, or are neglected.
- Education in aging topics leads to better
care and planning for aging well. Elderwerks provides hundreds of opportunities
for community members throughout the year.
- Elderwerks Senior Resource Directory includes
340-pages on local and federal programs, services, benefits, and aging articles.

Illinois.
