Bill > SB1845

This bill amends the Illinois Act on the Aging to increase rates for adult day services and transportation services within the Community Care Program. Specifically, subject to federal approval, the bill provides for rate increases within 30 days of the bill's effective date: adult day service rates will increase to $17.84 per hour, and transportation services for adult day services will increase to $13.44 per unit transportation. The Community Care Program is a state initiative designed to help seniors aged 60 and older remain in their homes or alternative living arrangements by providing various support services, thereby preventing unnecessary institutionalization. The rate increases are intended to help sustain and improve service quality by potentially making these services more financially viable for providers. The bill requires that providers certify compliance with these new rates and ensures that fringe benefits for direct service workers are not reduced in relation to these rate increases.
