| Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (800) 942-9412 | The Long-Term Ombudsman Program advocates for seniors in DuPage County who haven't been able to resolve disputes with their care providers. Ombudsmen are volunteers who regularly visit residential care facilities to speak to the residents, ensure they're aware of their rights and to investigates complaints made by them, their families and third parties. The program can also furnish seniors with data about assisted living facilities on their shortlists. |

The center also arranges group trips to many local attractions focused on developing physical and psychological fitness. Cosley Zoo, DuPage County Historical Museum and the Central Athletics Complex are particular favorites. |
| Veterans Affairs | (630) 690-9449 | The purpose of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs is to help vets and their families navigate the often maze of state, federal and local resources potentially available to them. In particular, it can help seniors planning their long-term care who may qualify for vet-specific programs, such as the VA Aid and Attendance benefit. It can also refer seniors to their nearest VA Medical Center or clinic, support their continuing education and provide administrative help, such as providing copies of their military records. |
