Are You Part Of The Sandwich Generation?

The sandwich generation refers to middle-aged individuals pressured to support aging parents and growing children. The sandwich generation is named so because they are effectively “sandwiched” between the obligation to care for their aging parents—who may be ill, unable to perform various tasks, or need financial support—and children, who require financial, physical, and emotional support.

If you're part of this generation, you might be:

Feeling squeezed between the demands of raising children and caring for aging parents.
Trying to balance the cost of raising your children, college tuition, retirement planning, and elder care expenses, and time management which involves juggling full-time careers with another work shift of caregiving at home.
Challenged emotionally. The financial and time management pressure can take a toll, with the chronic stress of caregiving leading to caregiver burnout.

If you or someone you know is in the Sandwich Generation, we can help.

Read our latest article to learn more about the sandwich generation and about how aging-in-place organizations like DuPage Senior Citizens Council and Kane Senior Council can support those struggling.

Get Active During National Senior Independence Month

February is National Senior Independence Month.

We know seniors are most comfortable in their own homes. That's why our services are designed to support independent living for older adults.

Here's how three of our services help seniors live independently.

Home Delivered Meals helps ease the challenges associated with cooking, meal preparation, and proper nutrition
Well-Being Checks give peace of mind to family and friends that seniors are doing well
Friendly Phone Calls help combat social isolation by providing regular phone calls to engage seniors
