Care Coordination Program

Alternatives’ Care Coordinators are experts in the field of aging (certified by the Illinois Department on Aging) who will sit down and help develop a plan of care that will meet the individual’s/caregiver’s needs so that they can remain in their homes for a longer period of time.

Who do we help?

If you or your loved one:

• Has difficulty remaining in one’s home because of physical/functional issues.
• Needs help after a stay in the hospital or nursing home.
• Is feeling overwhelmed and needs a break from caring for a loved one.

What we can do:

• We visit you in your home.
• We provide a free, complete analysis of your needs using the Illinois Department on Aging’s comprehensive tool.
• We develop a comprehensive care plan based on your individual needs.
• We have the resources to help you.
• We follow up periodically to make sure you are happy with the plan.
• We offer a reassessment to re-evaluate needs (after hospitalization, move to a new environment, loss of caregiver, etc.) at any time.
• We help transition individuals over the age of 60 back to the community from the hospital or a nursing home stay.
• We provide counseling and resources for overwhelmed caregivers.
