The Illinois
Department on Aging helps older people live independently
in their own homes and communities. As the population ages,
services and programs for older people must evolve as well
because longevity means more when quality of life is enhanced.
To best serve older adults, we must also serve their families
and teach younger people about the realities of aging, so many
of our programs have an intergenerational emphasis. Working
with Area Agencies on Aging, community-based service providers
and older people themselves, the Illinois Department on Aging
strives to improve quality of life for current and future
generations of older Illinoisans.
