What Elk Grove Township offers older adults
The office that matters most for older adults in Elk Grove Village is Elk Grove Township, at 600 Landmeier Road. The main number is 847-437-0300, and some services use 224-265-6111. Its senior program is one of the more complete in the area, and the list is worth reading before you call.
- Food pantry. It’s a client-choice pantry, so seniors shop for what they’ll actually eat instead of getting a pre-packed bag.
- Free medical equipment loans. You can borrow gently used walkers and wheelchairs at no cost, which is useful after a hospital stay.
- Bus service. Curb-to-curb pickup runs Monday through Friday.
- Veterans help. An accredited Veterans Services Officer helps at no charge. If your parent served, our veterans aid and attendance article explains the benefit.
- Property tax help. The township helps file property tax appeals and exemptions.
- Emergency financial aid. It’s available once every 24 months for a crisis such as an eviction.
- Benefits navigation. Staff help with LIHEAP, SNAP, and Medicare. See our LIHEAP heating help guide for the winter application details.
- Counseling. Mental health counseling is available by telehealth, in person, or both.
- Temporary handicap placards. They’re valid for up to six months.
Two practical notes. The once-every-24-months rule on emergency aid means it pays to ask about other help first, so you keep it in reserve. And township service areas don’t always match the village, so call first and confirm your parent’s address is covered before you drive over.
