Have you ever been concerned about the well being of an older neighbor or friend in Niles? Maybe you felt the person was struggling with their health, their finances or their sense of safety in the community. Worrying about a fellow senior can be a difficult problem to manage. Although you may want to provide support and assistance to a friend or neighbor, you may not know where to start, or where to turn. To address the challenges that Niles residents, businesses and organizations may face in assisting a senior in trouble, the Niles Senior Center created Niles Helping Elders through Referral and Outreach (HERO). The HERO program is a collaborative, community-based system for identifying and assisting older adults at-risk physically, emotionally, socially or financially. The program offers community members a way to confidentially refer vulnerable seniors to needed resources. As Niles Senior Center social workers, we can respond to your HERO referrals by providing comprehensive assessment, referral, case management and counseling services. In addition, we can offer crisis intervention, help arrange in-home support services and address concerns about available community resources. Our team approach can also utilize the skills of our senior center nurse, who can provide medical advocacy and focus on health concerns.
How Can I Make a HERO Referral? To make a HERO referral, call (847) 588-8420 and say, “I want to make a HERO referral.” Your referral will be directed to the social work department, where one of our workers will follow-up with you for more information about the senior. After the worker assesses the situation, they will then try to personally connect with the at-risk senior to address concerns or conflicts. It is important to note that your HERO referral will remain confidential. Unless authorized by you, no other individual, agency or department of the Village of Niles will be aware of your contacts with us. To learn more about the Niles HERO program, please contact Bev Wessels at (847) 588-8420. We look forward to answering any questions you might have.
847.588.8420 ~ www.vniles.com
When Should I Make a Hero Referral? We encourage community members to connect with us if they are concerned about a fellow senior. We can help you determine what resources might be helpful to address the situation you’re concerned about. Some general reasons to refer older peers to the HERO program include: *Signs and Symptoms of Distress/Emotional Changes (confusion, depression, severe forgetfulness) *Health Issues (difficulty coping with medical issues; reduced ability to manage daily life, struggling with selfcare, falling, homebound) *Safety Issues (wandering, kitchen fires, disconnected phones, occasionally unable to recognize surroundings) *Financial Issues (problems managing finances and paying bills; can’t make change or balance checkbook) *Caregiver Issues (caregiver appears overwhelmed or expresses anxiety about caring for a spouse, relative or adult vulnerable child).

John Sebastian Bach - with Jim Kendros, Composer, Music Researcher, Educator Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. Bach’s compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and over 300 sacred cantatas of which 190 survive. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth. Bach’s abilities as an organist were respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognized as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Wednesday, June 10, 10:00-11:00am, $5M/$7.50NM (#8129)
