Blaser of the Illinois Department of Aging has presented Governor James R. Thompson and members of the General Assembly with the 1963 Annual Report for the Community Care Program. The report is presented Sept. 30 of each year as a requirement of Public Act 81-802, the law which established the Community Care Program in 1979. "Providing adult day care, homemaker and chore- housekeeping services, the Community Care program is need the 24-hour supervision that is offered in a nursing home," said Ms. Blaser. "During Fiscal Year 1983, our program served approximately 13,500 clients, which is nearly a 40 percent increase from the previous year. Next year, we expect to serve close to 15,000 older persons." Ms. Blaser said it is possible for the caseload to continue expandingdue to the approval of a federal Medicaid waiver that allows Illinois to be partially reimbursed for its expenditures for in-home services. "Illinois is one of only two states that is applying the waiver to a statewide in-home care program. Other states have confined service to particular geographic areas." According to the annual report, a typical Community Care client is frail, over 75 years of age, female, widowed and lives alone. Oyer 75 percent of the clients have annual incomes in the range of $2,000-16,500, approximately 38 percent are known Medicaid recipients and percenl incomes below the Medicaid threshold. "We are trying to target services to those most likely to enter nursing homes or those > who would be placing themselves in personal jeopardy without services," said Ms. Blaser. "We have found that older persons prefer to remain in their own homes if they can be appropriately served through community-based care." B1 Ms. ilaser * said that Community Care is also more cost-effective than institutional care, citing that the average monthly service cost for a Community Care client was $170 in Fiscal Year 1983.
