How to apply for Free Trualta Caregiver Training Subscription (Suburban Cook County) in Illinois
AgeOptions (Area Agency on Aging for suburban Cook County)
Who it's for
If you are looking after an older adult at home, AgeOptions gives you a free subscription to Trualta, an online caregiver training and support service. Lessons take about five minutes and give practical advice on day-to-day care — bathing, medications, preventing falls, dementia, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's and more — and you can join drop-in support groups through Trualta Care Companions. Use it any time on a phone, tablet or computer; no app needed. Sign up free at ageoptions-caregivers.com or call AgeOptions at 708-383-0258.
This is for the family or informal caregiver, not the older adult — an adult child, spouse or friend doing the caring can use it. AgeOptions serves suburban Cook County (outside the City of Chicago); no income test is published.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
