Hospital Taxi Service

To assist our seniors who go to Highland Park Hospital, the township provides taxi coupons with a value of $4.25 for each one-way trip. When used with a Village of Deerfield coupon, savings are significant. Stop by the township office to pick up your coupons.

Senior Call

Each business day, the township calls any senior who wants someone to "check" on them. These friendly calls are usually scheduled for a time convenient for the senior. Older residents who live alone and/or have health problems enjoy the daily contact that provides this security for them. Call our office for more information.

Winchester House

The township enjoys a close working relationship with Winchester House, a skilled nursing home located in Libertyville and managed by Lake County. The 359 bed home has excellent rehabilitation therapy services and is proud of its 150 years of long term care for the residents of Lake County. Applications and information for Winchester House are available at the township office.
