Services for Older Adults in DuPage County

“Services for Older Adults in DuPage County”, is the topic of discussion on the Vintage Times, a local cable television program for senior citizens.

As we get older, and live longer, it becomes increasingly important for us, our families and friends to know what services are available to us, and how to access them. A discussion about services that exist in our community is presented on the Vintage Times. Tara Culotta, Community Services manager for the DuPage County Senior Citizens Services, explains programs such as counseling services, help provided in clients’ homes, insurance matters, help in case of elder abuse, help for caregivers, housing matters and more. “We all want to maintain our independence for as long as possible and to live with dignity and respect,” says Culotta, “It is important to be informed about the many services that are offered in our community.”

This cable television program will be shown on channel 6 in Downers Grove during October 2009, on Mondays and Fridays at 10:30 am, and on Comcast channel 19 during November 2009, on Thursdays at 6:00 pm. The program is also shown on channel 6 in Darien daily at 4 pm. DVD copies will be available for loan at some libraries and at the Township office.

The Vintage Times is produced by the Township of Downers Grove in cooperation with the Village of Downers Grove.
