An inclusive partnership to support the needs of older adults.

Project Lifeline

Since 1984, older adults in the northwest suburbs of Chicago have turned to Bacoa for information, resource referrals, and support to safely navigate their aging process. Each year, Bacoa’s professional team provides meaningful activities, counsel, and a team-based approach to help older adults live active life on their terms.

Project Lifeline enables us to fulfill the needs of older residents in our area.

This program enlists the assistance of organizations, businesses, and foundations and provides awareness of entities that support older adults. We invite you to participate with us in this life-changing opportunity.

Our critical and well-respected services support older adults, caregivers, and families. These services include:

Assistance in navigating government benefits
Socialization and activities for individuals with mild memory loss
Daily meal delivery through our Meals with Wheels program
Case management for vulnerable and isolated older adults
Support groups for caregivers and persons with vision loss

Bacoa has seen a 41 percent increase in the need for services and programs in the past two years, and we have worked to respond to this growing number of requests.

We recently added virtual programming to our list with topics ranging from music and art to history, cooking, fall prevention, conservation, and, of course, games. Social programs like our Cuisine Club, Bingo, educational events, performing art events, and the Outsiders walking group have all been met with an enthusiastic response.
