Options Counseling Program

Do you have long term care questions? We have information about your possible options! You have choices!

We can guide you through questions about living in the community or a nursing home such as:

• Can I continue to live in the community safely and independently?
• What services are available to support me in living in my home?
• Do I qualify for The Home Modification Loan Program to make my home more accessible?
• What is supportive living, adult foster care, PACE/SCO, PCA?

What would it be like to live in a nursing home short term or long term?

• Can I go to a Rehabilitation facility or temporarily to a nursing home and then return to my own home?

What are my personal supports?

• Who will help me make decisions?
• What role will my family play?
• What is Case Management and do I need it?
• What is Personal Care Assistance and do I qualify?

We are here to provide you information and support through your decision making process! Options Coordinators can help you find out your options and help you develop your personal Options Plan.

Coordinators Are Available To You By Phone, And/Or Will Meet With You By Appointment (At Your Hospital Room, Rehab Center, Or At Your Home):

If you choose to send us an email at optionscounselingprogram@ilcnsca.org, make sure to describe what you are looking for, with a telephone number and/or email address, and we will contact you.
