As the elderly population grows in Illinois and across our nation, protecting seniors continues to be one of the most important responsibilities of various agencies. Far too often, scam artists perceive senior citizens as vulnerable and relatively wealthy due to their ability to access retirement accounts and pensions. As a result, seniors are a frequent target of a wide range of consumer fraud scams. The Agencies must be held accountable for protection of Illinois Seasoned Sitizens by taking legal action against those who prey on seniors.

​

Working as a community advocate eliminates the disparity that Seasoned Citizens go thru without the awareness of the many methods of abuse elevated against us. We began to reach out for methods to assist our citizens with opportunity to assist them and others as well.

​

We collaborated with many agencies in the past to make a difference for our populations in our community.

We have participated in many programs for our Seasoned Sitizens and linked with programs to provide computer training for those interested. We provided a Seasoned Group at the Austin Community Center where Seasoned Sitizens had an opportunity to create quilts for premature babies at children’s hospital.

We are the chairperson for the Domestic Violence Sub Committee for the 15th Police Department and have re-constructed our programs to move to the next level. We are now linking Domestic Violence members with agencies that are in our community.

Seasoned Sitizens has created linkage and support of the collaborating agencies to provide detailed work-shops that cover many areas of abuse and provide informational packets to assist the Seasoned Sitizens. Our skit programs bring awareness to many disparities that we face and don’t not know we are victims.

We provide resources, services and information for our population.

While we are a non-for-profit organization and our successes derives from donations and contracts to provide our services.

If this is a project you would like to present to your residents or participants of your program please give us a call at 773-858-4453 leave us a message and we will provide further detail.
