Information and Assessment is the key element to accessing all programs and services for senior citizens, a "one stop link" to eldercare service providers in the City of Chicago and throughout the nation. By placing a call to 312.744.4016, an older person or caregiver receives information about the services offered by the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services.
