JASC’s Private Client Program
In this program, JASC staff provide helpful homemaking services for people of all ages who need extra help at home. Examples of people who would use these services include pregnant women and new mothers, those too busy with life and career to keep up with household chores, those recovering from surgery or anyone else who needs help in their home.
Illinois Department on Aging’s Community Care Program
This program focuses on enabling older adults (age 60+) to remain independent and safe in their own homes, and delay or prevent nursing home or other residential placement. In this program, the State of Illinois pays full or partial costs for eligible seniors. A case manager visits your home to determine eligibility and an appropriate care plan.
