How to use the PDF lists:
In each list, the service providers are arranged, first, according to the Area Agency on Aging in which they fall, then by county served. (Some listings, such as those for Cook County, are arranged by township served.)

To determine under which Area Agency you should look to find the services in your neighborhood, consult the Illinois map. Then return to this page, open a list, locate your local Area Agency and then your county/township.
