Save Community Care Rally at Senior Services Plus | Illinois Community Care Program Funding Cuts (CC

Clients and community leaders gather at Senior Services Plus for the Save Community Care Rally, highlighting how proposed Illinois Community Care Program (CCP) funding cuts could impact in-home care and senior services. Firsthand testimonials and remarks from elected officials underscore the importance of keeping older adults safe at home. The event features stories from in-home care participants describing how reductions to the Community Care Program could affect daily living support and independence. Speakers include Senator Bill Haine, Representative Dan Beiser, and volunteer lobbyist Jim Pennebaker representing AARP. The rally also provides a forum for Community Care service providers to address the potential effects on essential aging services, including in-home services, adult day services, and emergency home response programs. If the Illinois legislature were to approve Governor Rauner’s proposed FY2016 budget, multiple programs could be strongly affected, including: Adult day care (daytime supervision in a group setting) Case management (coordination and administration of services) Homemaker and chore services (laundry, housekeeping, yard work, light home maintenance, personal care, and help with activities of daily living) Senior companions (social interaction and transportation assistance) Medication management and reminder devices Personal emergency response services (home safety monitoring and emergency call services) Recorded Monday, May 4, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with media availability following the program.
