CMSS offers an array of programs and services to support older adults and their families. This year’s Fall Benefit proceeds will support CMSS’ friendly visitor program – Senior Connections. 

Senior Connections is a no-cost program that matches volunteers with older adults to form mutually beneficial friendships. This powerful initiative not only reduces loneliness and isolation for older adults but also inspires and motivates our dedicated volunteers. Research has shown that lack of social connection is of greater detriment to a person’s health than smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, or air pollution. Older adults, in particular, are among the most at-risk groups for loneliness and social isolation. Through our Senior Connections program, CMSS is building opportunities for social interaction and emphasizing the benefits of intergenerational friendships, making our volunteers an integral part of this impactful journey.

As a non-profit organization, CMSS relies on the generosity of our family and friends to support Senior Connections, as well as our other programs and services, which include: 

• Affordable Senior Housing
• West Suburban Senior Center & LGBT+ Program
• SASI Home Care
• Assisted Living Memory Care

In every facet of our work, we empower each person we serve to live their best life and we meet the needs of each individual, taking into account their specific circumstance.

As the demand for older adult care increases, your gift will make CMSS’s next century of care and services possible and will ensure a lasting impact on the lives of older adults. Thank you for your support.
