Health Care Council of Illinois - HCCI The Health Care Council of Illinois (HCCI) is the strong, leading voice for nursing home communities across the state.

HCCI strives to bridge the divide between state policy makers and nursing home communities through education and advocacy. Illinois must rein in state spending to solve our financial crisis, but we must protect funding for nursing homes. Holding the line will ensure:

Residents have quality care, food and home-like surroundings. Staff have fair wages and a good work environment. Families can depend on nursing homes to care for their loved ones.

Facility visits provide valuable opportunities for lawmakers to see firsthand the important work being done in long-term care communities across Illinois.

Recently, State Representative Jackie Haas visited Bickford of Bourbonnais, where she met with facility leaders and discussed issues impacting assisted living providers, residents, and families. The conversation highlighted the importance of supporting quality long-term care, promoting resident safety, and ensuring providers have the resources needed to serve their communities.

Thank you to Representative Haas for taking the time to visit, listen, and engage with providers on the future of senior care in Illinois.

Meaningful conversations with policymakers are essential to advancing quality senior care. During a recent visit to ALIYA of Palatine, State Senator Darby Hills met with providers to discuss issues impacting long-term care across Illinois, including Medicaid funding, rising costs of care, and the need for sustainable investments that support residents, families, and caregivers.
The discussion also highlighted the importance of educating seniors and their families on topics such as financial planning, trusts, and inheritance, helping individuals make informed decisions before a crisis occurs.

Thank you to Senator Hills for taking the time to visit, listen, and engage in thoughtful discussions about the future of long-term care in Illinois.
