 "The expansion of the Supportive Living Program will result in
additional high-quality housing options for people who need
long-term care, as well as economic development opportunities
throughout the state," said HFS Director Barry S. Maram. "The
development of new SLFs will mean additional jobs -- construction,
facility staff -- not to mention the potential for increased revenue
for local businesses, while supporting the states' efforts to reform
its long-term care system."
The Illinois Department of Healthcare
and Family Services operates the Supportive Living Program under
Medicaid for low-income seniors age 65 and older and individuals age
22 and older who have physical disabilities. Supportive living
facilities offer residents apartment-style housing combined with
personal care, medication management, and other health and wellness
services. Residents can live independently and take part in
decision-making. Personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality
are all emphasized through the program.
"SLFs make a critical range of services available while providing
individuals with more choices for care," said Theresa Eagleson,
administrator of the state's Medicaid program. "The quality of
applications received in this solicitation was outstanding. Clearly,
the market and consumer demand for this type of affordable
housing-with-services model is strong."
The state's Medicaid program pays for a portion or all of the
medical care for eligible residents. Residents are responsible for
paying for their housing with Social Security or other personal
funds.
Since Gov. Pat Quinn took office in January 2009, 11 new
supportive living facilities have opened. Throughout the state there
are currently 119 operational, containing nearly 9,400 apartments.
