Grants up to $1000 per household per year may be awarded. Expenses which may qualify for this program include things like home modifications, mobility equipment, adaptive communication devices, some therapies, etc. Older adults are encouraged to apply!! The program is intended to assist those WDT residents with the greatest financial need, but there is no stated income limit. Application forms are available at PTC, the township office, and online. Grants are awarded quarterly; the next application deadline is September 30th. For more info, call the Township at 847-9450614 or PTC Social Services.

Caruso “GrandFriends” Fund There is a small fund available to assist lower income older adults to pay a portion of their membership and program fees at the PTC. The GrandFriends Fund was originated and is supported by the fundraising efforts of the students at Caruso Middle School. Margie can provide eligibility and program information. Participation is strictly confidential.

Have questions or confusion about Medicare? Help is right here! The Senior Health Insurance Program, a wonderful service provided by the Illinois Department on Aging and hosted by the PTC, is here to assist you! The expert knowledge of our volunteers trained in Medicare can inform you on a variety of topics— learning the ABC’s and D’s of Medicare, selecting a supplement plan, sorting claims, filing appeals, checking for subsidies, etc. We receive tremendous positive feedback on our team of volunteers. Smart beneficiaries use SHIP because “The Best Choice is and Educated Choice!” The service is FREE and is open to ALL. Appointments are required.

The SSA is trying to save you big money! In June, the Social Security Administration began mailing letters to beneficiaries who are likely to be eligible for, but not currently receiving, federal subsidies for their healthcare. These include Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) that cover the cost of the Part B premium and the Extra Help, a program that pays the cost of the Part D prescription premium. In Deerfield, 161 beneficiaries received the letter. If you received one, it's worth checking into! Eligibility is determined after an application for benefits is approved. It is based on income and assets. Margie in our Social Service office is happy to answer questions and assist with the application process. You might keep more money in your pocket!!

Telephone Reassurance Each business day, a West Deerfield Township staff member makes friendly calls to any homebound township resident who wants someone to check on them. Call the WDT office at 847-945-0614 to set up the service. A similar program is the Lake County Sheriff’s Office "R.U. OK?" program. It, too, offers a personal telephone wellness check to those who are homebound and living alone. Interested in participating? Request an application by contacting the Lake County Community Services Team at 847377-4211.

ACES: Caregiver Support Are you caring for your spouse, parent, or other relative? If so, you may feel tired, overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or frustrated. Perhaps you need caregiving tips or leads on resources. Studies show that caregivers reduce stress, have improved health, and provide better care when part of a caregiver support group. The group is not disease specific, it focuses on the caregiver. Join our vital group to meet others in our community who, like you, are caring for an older adult loved one. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 1pm in the Patty Turner Center Library. Drop in. FREE. For more info call Margie at PTC 847-940-4010.

Save Money on License Plate Sticker, Local Vehicle Sticker, and Public Transit

Do care obligations keep you from attending our Support Groups? Here’s a solution! Through our treasured partnership with Faith in Action Volunteers, we are able to offer some respite options. On-site supervision of your loved one in our front lobby may be available during the Alzheimer and ACES meetings. Care recipients must be comfortable being apart from their loved one, have appropriate behavior, and be able to use the restroom on their own. Also, on a more limited basis, a trained Faith in Action volunteer may come to your home, if needed, while you attend the ACES meeting. For both services, prescreening and reservations are required. There is never a fee. Please call Margie at PTC for eligibility requirements and more information.

The program for the upcoming September meeting is "Gadgets to Technology". This will be a discussion of gadgets to enhance daily life, where to buy visually impaired adaptive devices, as well as new technologies that are available. Meetings are enlightening and interactive; a place to share ideas and tools to live happy, independent, and meaningful lives. The group meets every other month on the second Monday.
