IACCPHP was founded to assist homecare agencies with training, promotion of services and advocacy.
IACCPHP, formed in 1988, is comprised of large and small providers, as well as both not-for-profit and for-profit providers. Association members work in conjunction with IDoA and other aging network associations to improve CCP services and to enhance other community based services for seniors.

What is the Community Care Program?The Community Care Program (CCP) is a state program created in 1979 by Public Act 81-202 for the prevention of premature and unnecessary institutionalization of seniors by providing in-home and community based services. CCP is managed by the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) and is recognized as a national model of in-home and community based care to at-risk seniors. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2008, the program served approximately 50,200 frail older adults with overall expenditures approximating $376 million.
Funding for CCP comes through the State General Revenue funds as well as through a Federal Medicaid Waiver and in some cases a client co-pay portion exists. The Program saves state tax dollars each year through the avoidance of unnecessary and premature placement of clients into nursing homes or other more costly alternatives.
In-home Services: These services provide assistance with household tasks including; cleaning, laundry, shopping, errands, and planning and preparing meals. Homecare Assistants also assist clients with personal care tasks such as dressing, bathing, and grooming.
