RESOURCES - PATHLIGHTS

Pathlights, formerly known as PLOWS Council on Aging helps navigate and celebrate aging in the Southwest Suburbs of Cook County. For more than 45 years, we have guided individuals, caregivers, families, and friends along the best path to aging – providing resources, advocacy programs, and services needed to live with independence and dignity in the community.

Are you a grandparent or other relative raising children?

Are you an informal caregiver who could use a break?

Do you know about all the benefits that you may qualify for as an older adult?

Respite is available seven days a week and can be used for as little as three hours, an entire day, or possibly even several days when you care for an older adult who requires 24-hour care and cannot be left alone. Learn more by calling Pathlights at ( 708) 361-0219.

We provide consultation and support about financial assistance, legal issues, self- care, and more. Learn more by calling Pathlights at ( 708) 361-0219.

Your budget is part of the foundation on which you make your plans to age well. If you are living on a limited income, Pathlights can guide you and maximize your budget by helping you apply for benefits, which may lower your monthly expenses in areas such as utility bills, property taxes, prescriptions, transportation, and other necessities.
