What a useless bunch of people PAID BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS to deliver services but can not... As the lead agency for Department of Aging in Illinois they are USELESS.... Approached them after my young wife was stricken by Alzheimer's..... I WAS GREATFUL FOR THE SMALL RESPITE FUNDING THEY GAVE ME SO I COULD SPEND TIME IN THE HOSPITAL BUT IT DID NOT COME CLOSE TO COVERING THE NINE DAYS/NIGHTS OF UNSKILLED ASSISTANCE I HAD TO PAY FOR... Clearly told them I had been placed out of work due to my medical issues and am sole support for an ALZ suffering young wife.... Clearly told them I desired Senior Companion for my ill wife, we needed assistance in getting to/from appointments involving general anesthesia and that respite assistance was direly needed.....

(Next time CC lead with that statement on your CYA telephone calls!) Asked for transportation.... Caller said NOT MY JOB, I WILL NOTIFY OTHERS OF YOUR NEED. Asked about RESPITE Assistance... Caller said NOT MY JOB I WILL NOTIFY OTHERS OF YOUR NEED. Asked for help covering an array of prescription co-pays... Caller said YOU DONT QUALIFY AS YOU ARE OVER THE INCOME LIMIT. Asked for help finding employment with insurance that would cover my ailing wife.... Caller said WE DONT HAVE RESOURCES FOR ASSISTANCE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE OVER THE INCOME LIMIT (By $30.00/Month). Really not sure what this clown group can do for AMERICANS other than WASTE your time because they sure don't give a dang as they see your rapidly approaching becoming homeless with ZERO assistance for a 62 YO White, Female, US Born woman and her disabled Vet husband... read more
