About Us

Elderwerks Educational Services is a not-for-profit organization offering senior living coordination, advocacy, and education to older adults, seniors, and families. Our complimentary assistance includes information, referrals, and guidance for all types of senior housing (independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer's care, skilled nursing facilities, retirement living, etc.) home care, services, and benefits required to help a senior stay home well or transition successfully.

Elderwerks offers free educational programs for community members and professionals supporting seniors. We print a 400+ page Elderwerks Senior Resource Directory which is available at no charge at our Center. Some programs we have implemented include:
- Make a Senior Smile, which collects cards, poems, drawings, art, and letters for isolated and lonely seniors.
- Elderwerks Aging Better Expo: Planning Your Future Today second week of August
- Stepping Out to Fitness gets people moving to earn a chance to win prizes, summer
- Chasing Butterflies Scavenger Hunt is a shop local program for the state of Illinois, summer

Aging after retirement doesn't have to be stressful. Plan now for future needs.
