We invite
you to come and visit our facility with your loved one. Our staff will be happy to meet with you and show you all the fun
events we enjoy at Elderday Center. Call 630-761-9750 to schedule a tour. After you've scheduled a tour, one of our social workers will schedule an assessment
with your loved one and any primary caregivers. This allows both parties to determine how to best serve the older adult. The
assessment is paid for by Medicare. Call 630-761-9750 to schedule.
