Abstract	This document contains an annual report on Illinois' Community Care Program (CCP), a program which provides in-home and other support services to help older persons to remain living at home and avoid premature institutionalization. Three levels of care provided by the CCP are described: (1) chore housekeeping, consisting of basic household tasks such as cleaning floors; (2) homemaker services, including personal care tasks, and more complex household tasks; and (3) adult day care. Other services which support the CCP are discussed, including case management, toll-free information and referral systems, and nursing home prescreening. The history of the Community Care Program since its inception in 1979 is briefly reviewed. The CCP's commitment to high quality service is discussed in the areas of a quality assurance program; the emphasis placed on training; case management standards; CCP rules; and demonstration projects concerned with special programming for victims of Alzheimer's Disease, skilled nursing and home health care, and companion and supervision services.
