Care Coordination is a specialized program that provides access to vital services for the health and stability of older adults who live independently in the Leyden, Lyons, Norwood Park, Riverside or South Proviso Townships. Our Care Coordinators partner with older adults and their families to evaluate and develop personalized care plans that meet each older adult’s goals, health and social needs. The assessment is standardized across Illinois and provides an in-depth look at the needs of the individual.
Who can use Care Coordination?
Care Coordination is designed for older adults with multiple needs. They generally have difficulties performing daily tasks, such as: preparing meals, bathing, performing light housekeeping, grocery shopping or driving to doctor’s appointments. These difficulties can be related to various issues, such as illness, financial, cognitive, disability or a lack of family support. |
What happens after the assessment is complete?
Care Coordinators follow-up with the older adult receiving services by phone or at their home to ensure all their needs are being met. If new concerns or needs are identified, the Coordinators work with them to arrange additional services.
