Senior & Health Services

Living in a community that cares
While it is often the quality of the schools that draws young families to our Township, it is the quality of life that keeps us here. The township’s mission is to help preserve that quality of life for young and old.
SENIORS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
First and foremost, the West Deerfield Township is a community that cares about its seniors. If you qualify, we urge you to take advantage of the many programs that can make a difference in your health, happiness and mobility. See the “At-A-Glance” section on this page for services and benefits that are available. Please don’t hesitate to call 847-945-0614. Or come in to your Township Office if you think you need help, and find out more about resources available to you.
HEALTH SERVICES FOR ALL AGES.
If you or a loved one has a health issue, and that includes mental health, please reach out to us at the Township Office. We will do our best to help you navigate through the local, state and federal programs that are resources for a broad range of support.
