REFERRALS
Providing essential support to keep seniors in their Glencoe homes.
For Glencoe seniors, unexpected medical bills, the loss of a spouse, or damage to their home can profoundly affect financial stability. Seniors also face challenges such as the necessity for major home modifications to enable aging in place, the responsibility of caring for adult children with health issues, predatory financial scams, or the risk of outliving their savings. Any of these situations can lead to severe financial difficulties.
Seniors in Glencoe who are facing financial hardship are at risk of losing their ability to stay in the community they love.
FSG’s Senior Housing Program helps provide essential resources to seniors and help keep them in their Glencoe homes. Just like for you, Glencoe is not just a location for them; it’s where they have built their lives, surrounded by friends, family, local businesses they’ve supported for years, and their places of worship.
