Lee County Council On Aging

Serving Senior Citizens and others in Lee County

From the Dixon, Illinois Seniors Center at 100 West Second Street, a single goal focuses all our efforts; to do our part in making the community a better place for all. Lee County Council on Aging is a multi-purpose non-profit social service agency offering an array of programs and services to Lee County residents. Programs are focused on, but not limited to seniors, low income and minority individuals.

Dementia Friends USA

Join the Movement!
Become a Dementia Friend.

A Dementia Friend learns about dementia and then turns that understanding into action. We all have a part to play in creating dementia friendly communities!

Dementia Friends USA is part of a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. Anyone can be a Dementia Friend – we all have a part to play in creating dementia friendly communities!

A Dementia Friend is someone who, through viewing a series of online videos or attending a live interactive session, learns about what it's like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends program to visiting someone who is living with dementia, every action counts.

PROCEDURES FOR ENTERING THE SENIOR CENTER

Welcome to the Lee County Council on Aging.

WE ARE GLAD YOU'RE HERE !!

We are doing everything we can to ensure you have a safe place to gather for activities or to seek the assistance you may need.

Once you enter the first door, find the switch to ring the doorbell, and push down. The switch is to the right of the second door. An employee will come to the door and ask, "How may we help you?".

"Are you here for an activity, or an appointment?" As long as you have your proof of vaccination, we can invite you to enter the Senior Center.

You are now inside the facility and we will ask you to fill out two questionnaires. One is COVID19 related and the second gathers statistics for LCCOA.

While you complete these forms, we will take your temperature. Then you will then record your temperature on the COVID19 form.

If you answer "Yes" to any of the four COVID19 questions, you may not go any further into the building. You can come back once you are symptom-free, and can show a negative COVID19 test result.

If you answer "No" to all of the questions, and show us Proof of Vaccination, we Thank You and hope that you will enjoy all of your time here at the Center.
