At CJE SeniorLife (CJE), we are passionate about serving older adults and those who love and care for them. For more than 50 years, we have offered a variety of services to meet the diverse needs and preferences of our clients, whether they live in our CJE communities or in their own homes. We empower older adults and their families to enjoy life to the fullest, with dignity and independence.

Our mission, vision and values guide our work every day. We listen to our clients and their families, and tailor our services to their unique situations, while adopting a holistic approach of collaborative and comprehensive care. Through our Hub for Care Coordination, our expert and compassionate staff applies an individualized approach with access to a full range of programs and services.

211 is an important service used by millions of people across North America including DuPage County. Day or night, contact 211 to access free and confidential crisis and emergency counseling, disaster assistance, food, health care and insurance assistance, stable housing and utilities payment assistance, employment services, veteran services and childcare and family services.

• 211 provides expert, caring help — No matter the situation, the specialists at 211 listen, identify underlying problems, and connect people in need with resources and services in their community that improve their lives.

• 211 meets real needs in real time — In 2019 alone, 211s in the US made more than 14 million connections to life-changing support and resources. There is no other network in the country that has a similar pulse on America’s needs.

• DuPage County 211 operators are local, providing resources right here, in our community.

• 211 tackles underlying root causes – 211 does more than “patch people through” to agencies. Instead, 211 specialists are trained to identify and address root causes of a client’s problem – and connect them with a wide range of available resources that meet all the underlying needs, not just the one that prompted the call, text or email.   

Resource Database Inclusion Plan

Resources for inclusion to the database must meet the Inclusion Plan (HTML). However, inclusion in the resource database should not be construed to constitute an endorsement of an agency, organization or its services, nor should exclusion be construed to constitute disapproval. The resource database provides resource information, not endorsements, recommendations or ratings of potential service providers.

All of our programs share a common purpose: supporting families and strengthening the community. The talents of our experienced staff, trained volunteers, and longstanding community partners band together to provide compassion, experience, and insight to help residents overcome isolation and significant challenges to remain independent. Our services are a lifeline to ensure the well-being of residents struggling to make ends meet on low fixed incomes, lack of affordable housing, and rising costs of medical care.

The Hanover Township Senior Center serves older adult residents
in the communities of Bartlett, Elgin, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Streamwood and unincorporated Cook County.

Our Mission

Since 1998, our not-for-profit program has served all seniors, age 60 and over, who live in McHenry County or Sun City Huntley. Our mission is to help seniors maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life by remaining in their own homes or the home of a loved one for as long as possible.

Volunteers help us achieve our mission by providing services such as transportation to life critical, life-sustaining as well as life-enriching destinations, friendly visits, minor home repairs, yard work, and shopping all at absolutely no charge to the senior.

In our last fiscal year, volunteers drove more than 164,000 miles, and dedicated 18,054 volunteer hours to assist more than 1177 local seniors. Our services saved seniors and their families $444,420.

When a senior is able to attend necessary medical appointments, our transportation services are life-sustaining. However, our other services help seniors feel less isolated and decrease feelings of anxiety and depression. When they know there is someone there for them, someone who cares, and they know they can still be an integral part of their community, they remain independent longer.
