Excellence in senior care

Advocate has a long history of commitment to serving senior adults in our communities and improving quality of life. Our care is tailored to the special medical, psychological and emotional needs of older adults. We provide easy access to support services and programs designed to help you stay healthy, be independent, and live life to the fullest.

What sets us apart:

• Exemplary care: Our network includes one of only five hospitals in Illinois recognized for quality by Nurses Improving Care for HealthSystem Elders (NICHE)
• Quality referrals: We can connect you to hospital and community necessities, from nursing homes and home-delivered meals to emergency response systems
• Money-saving opportunities: Get low- or no-cost routine tests like blood pressure checks, flu shots and diabetes screenings at special events throughout the area

Specialized services

Senior Advocate program

Senior Advocate, our no-cost membership program, is exclusively for people over age 65. It's not an insurance plan; it's simply a way for you to access helpful people and customized resources, including:

• Free access to health care advice
• Help with Medicare coverage and paperwork
• Personal financial counseling and help with insurance
• Customized wellness programs
• Flu shots

Adult day services

The adult day services at Advocate provide a safe place for older adults to socialize, create and grow while greatly reducing the isolation and loneliness often associated with aging and disability.

Lifeline personal response & support services

We also offer Lifeline Personal Response and Support Services, an easy-to-use service that makes staying in your own home a safer, more comfortable option. Lifeline gives you 24-hour access to emergency help, even if you can't reach the phone.
