Janet Fryer, Senior Advocate, is available Monday – Friday to
support older adults in the community. There is no charge for
her services, and she can be reached directly at 847.810.4678.
Janet Fryer presents her professional speaker series, “Insights
on Aging” throughout the summer. Aimed at seniors and the
adult children of seniors, this free monthly program covers a
wide array of topics pertinent to the aging population. In June,
Brittany Mabry from the Alzheimer’s Association brings us vital
information with “Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters.”
Please contact Dickinson Hall for July and August topics.
If you are aged 50+ and living alone, Janet offers the Home
Alone Group, a monthly opportunity for those living alone
to share the triumphs and challenges of life with a group of
friendly fellow travelers! If you have Low Vision issues, Janet
can come out to homes of local members to visit and assist in
finding ways to address issues arising from limited vision or
other concerns.
