Illinois Supportive Living Program

Illinois developed the Supportive Living Program as an
alternative to nursing home care for low-income older persons and persons with disabilities under Medicaid.
By combining apartment-style housing with personal care and other services, residents can live independently
and take part in decision-making. Personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality are emphasized.
To test the concept of supportive living for Medicaid
clients, the Department of Public Aid has obtained a "waiver" to allow payment for services that
are not routinely covered by Medicaid. These include personal care, homemaking, laundry, medication
supervision, social activities, recreation and 24-hour staff to meet residents' scheduled and unscheduled
needs. The resident is responsible for paying the cost of room and board at the facility.
The Supportive Living Program is open to any resident
who:
- undergoes preadmission screening (individuals seeking
assistance through the Medical Assistance Program must be found in need of nursing facility of level of
care according to screening guidelines);
- is without a primary or secondary diagnosis of
developmental disability or chronic mental illness;
- is certified by a physician as requiring the level of
care provided in a supportive living facility;
- has income no less than the current maximum allowable
amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (SSI amounts for 2004 - $564 for a single person; $846 for
a couple);
- has had a tuberculosis test administered in the three
months prior to admission that indicates the absence of active tuberculosis; and
- is not participating in the Department on Aging's
Community Care Program or the Department of Human Services Home Services Program.
Services
Residents choose from the following menu of services that are provided by the facility:
- temporary nursing care
- social/recreational programming
- health promotion & exercise program
- medication oversight
- ancillary services
- 24-hour response/security
- personal care
- laundry
- housekeeping
- maintenance
Providers must also regularly assess each resident's
health status and consult with the resident on an ongoing service plan that promotes health and wellness.
Payment
Each Medicaid-eligible resident must have income equal to or greater than the current SSI and must
contribute all but $90 each month to the provider for lodging, meals and services. The $90 is to be kept by
the resident as a personal allowance to use as the resident wishes. When sharing a room, a Medicaid-eligible
resident is required to contribute no more than one half of the current SSI rate for a married couple minus
the $90 personal allowance. Any resident receiving food stamp benefits may be required to contribute those
benefits to the facility as payment toward meal costs.
