Wondering If Medicaid Covers In-Home Care in Illinois? Here’s What You Need to Know.
In this episode, we unpack one of the most frequently asked questions: Does Medicaid pay for in-home care? The answer is yes—but how it works can vary by state. We explain how it functions in Illinois, who qualifies, and how to get started with the support your family needs.
You’ll learn:
- How Medicaid funds in-home care services across all 50 states
- What Illinois’ Community Care Program (CCP) offers for seniors
- The eligibility requirements as outlined by the Illinois Department on Aging
- The role of Care Coordination Units (CCUs) in determining care
- What types of services are covered, from personal care to housekeeping
