Home is where care happens.

This November, LeadingAge Illinois recognizes the member organizations, professionals, and volunteers across Illinois who help individuals remain supported, connected, and independent in the place they call home.

National Care at Home Month celebrates the many services that make this possible, including home care, hospice and palliative care, Medicaid HCBS, and home health services.

Throughout the month, we’re proud to recognize the people behind this important work and the role they play in supporting older adults, individuals, and families across Illinois.
