| Overall Model |
Illinois' Resource Centers provide long-term care options counseling and comprehensive needs assessments through a person-centered planning approach. The Centers will expand caregiver support services to previously underserved populations such as grandparents raising grandchildren. The Department of Disability & Human Development at the University of Illinois will evaluate the effectiveness of the Centers to determine feasibility of statewide expansion. The goals of the project are to significantly strengthen and expand existing CPoE/ADRC programs, facilitate an integrated and/or fully coordinated access to CPoE/ADRC statewide, and to establish a plan for the implementation of a statewide CPoE/ADRC function. |
| Target Populations |
Persons age 60+; adults (age 18+) with physical (Macon) and developmental disabilities (Rockford) and caregivers |
| Streamlining Access Plans |
The ADRCs provide linkages to IDoA, DHS networks, and DPA (Dept of Public Aid) to facilitate a standardized and coordinated assessment strategy. Illinois intends the MIS system to play an integral role in streamlining access by creating a comprehensive resource data base of available services as well as facilitating linkages between state and local entities to programmatic eligibility determinations for public long-term care support programs and benefits. The Department of Aging plans to work collaboratively with other state agencies such as the Department of Human Services and the Department of Public Aid (State Medicaid Agency) to promote systems integration to improve access to community-based services for all target populations within Illinois. With its new funding, Illinois plans to develop a comprehensive, universal intake form for all CPoE/ADRCs, and determine the feasibility of using ADRC tools established by other States into Illinois' service delivery model. |
| Program Expansion and Sustainability |
IL will establish a 5-year plan to implement CPoE/ADRC statewide, in partnership with DHS and HFS, and with input from key stakeholders. IL will increase by 250% the number of individuals who are served by CPoE/ADRC centers (from 37,150 contacts/year to 130,000 contacts/year). |
| Options Counseling |
As a 2010- 2012 Options Counseling grantee Illinois is collaborating with the Administration on Aging to create national minimum standards for options counseling as well as developing statewide standards. Draft state standards will be tested in at least one area beginning in October 2011. A web-based training curriculum on Options Counseling is being developed for ADRCs statewide. |
| Care Transitions |
As of October 2010, Illinois, 2010 AoA Care Transitions state grantee, had one ADRC actively involved with care transitions activities and one ADRC planning care transitions activities. The ADRC planning care transitions activities, had identified using the BRIDGE model. |
| Evaluation and Quality Improvement |
IL has statewide standards for CPoE/ADRC. IL will expand utilization of the web based Enhanced Services Program (ESP) resource data base; develop a training curriculum to include disability issues and client-directed care for all CPoE/ADRCs; ensure that all CPoE/ADRC sites are providing high quality, person-centered long term care planning. |
