After all, none of us want to be forced to give up things we love because of reduced mobility, chronic disease, constant pain or fear of falling. Unfortunately, it can create an endless cycle – we fear the effects of aging so we cut back on activities that may cause falls or pain, and that only leads to a greater loss of balance and flexibility, added pain and a greater susceptibility to disease. It’s time to blaze a new trail – one that leads to a healthier future! The West Cook Y is your place for a senior-friendly environment that gives you opportunities to become your best self – no matter what your age. We are a marketplace leader in helping seniors live healthy and fulfilling lives. You’ll be part of a community of more than 1,000 seniors who are committed to aging well, staying active, building friendships and remaining a vital part of the community. Plus, our staff, trainers and program leaders will be with you every step along your journey to improved well-being.
