IL Medicaid

Community Care Program (CCP)

Administered by the Illinois Department on Aging, through local Care Coordination Units (CCUs).

Dementia-specific eligibility

Eligibility rests on a standardised Determination of Need assessment carried out by a local Care Coordination Unit; the cited page does not publish the qualifying score, so confirm the current threshold with the CCU. The cited page does not describe any dementia-specific eligibility route, so ask the office that administers the programme how a dementia diagnosis is weighed in that assessment.

Asset limits: This state does not publish asset limits on its own program page. Confirm the current figures with the office that administers the program.

What makes IL different: Illinois runs the Community Care Program through local Care Coordination Units rather than a central office, so the same programme is administered by the unit covering your area, and that unit both assesses eligibility and arranges the in-home services.

How to apply: Enrollment goes through a local Care Coordination Unit, which conducts the Determination of Need assessment and connects approved applicants with a home care agency.
