Annual Report
Take a Look Inside!
In this 2024 Year in Review, you’ll find a recap of our activities on behalf of older adults with an emphasis on our theme of Celebrating Our Impact: 50 Years of Innovation, Partnership and Advocacy. Read how AgeOptions has been improving the lives of older adults and caregivers since 1974 when we began as the Area Agency on Aging for suburban Cook County. With our partners, we have delivered more meals than any other year in our history, created a mind-boggling range of programs to combat social isolation, supported family caregivers, conducted a comprehensive Needs Assessment survey, provided health and wellness workshops, helped spread vaccinations in communities, and more. You’ll read about our initiatives and accomplishments in the 2024 fiscal year, and you’ll also see how did this with the lens of Diversity, Racial Equity and Inclusion as we celebrated the vast array of individuals within our community. We hope you’ll find it interesting and informative.
