AARP Illinois

The excitement builds for the AARP-commissioned mural, Celebrando Comunidad, by local artist Elizabeth Reyes in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood! TODAY, bright and early, workers started to remove the existing paint off the walls of a proud neighborhood establishment, Nuevo Leon Restaurant. This, and a lot of work to come, is in preparation for the greatly-anticipated mural.

AARP is opening an exciting new outdoor fitness park at Lincoln Park in coordination with the Springfield Park District. If you live in the Springfield area, come join us for the celebration and ribbon-cutting!

Hey Illinois:

In the fight against Alzheimer’s we have different ways to protect brain health and delay dementia. These include regular aerobic exercise, eating a low-inflammatory diet like the Mediterranean or MIND diet, treating conditions that harm the brain such as diabetes and hypertension, staying socially active, achieving higher education, and being a life-long learner.

This year’s Facts and Figures report from the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that 5.8 million Americans are living with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease–a number expected to grow steeply in coming decades as Baby Boomers age. The report also lists and defines the stages of Alzheimer’s disease, one of which might be unfamiliar to you.

AARP Chicago cordially invites everyone to Café de Olla, a series of Chicago Latino/Hispanic community based events.

AARP’s Terri Worman was a guest WLS Chicago's Windy City Live to discuss an exciting free event featuring Identity theft expert Frank W. Abagnale to discuss how everyone can protect themselves from frauds and scams.

AARP Chicago celebrates Chicago and its neighborhoods. We are excited about all the exciting things that we are working on in the Pilsen/Little Village communities this summer.
