License Plate Discount & Senior Rides Free Card

ACES: Caregiver Support

Receiving these two benefits begin with filing one application, the Illinois Benefit Access Application. Are you eligible? One must be 65 or older--or over 16 and totally disabled; AND have an annual income form all sources under $27,610 for singles or $36,635 for couples. The application is good for two years. If you are already on the program, allow enough time for your renewal. Renewal may be done three months before your current BAA expires. The State is currently running two months behind on processing... allow yourself enough time to get your benefit!

Are you caring for your spouse, parent, or other relative? If so, you may feel tired, overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or frustrated. Perhaps you need caregiving tips or leads on resources. Studies show that caregivers reduce stress, have improved health, and provide better care when part of a caregiver support group. The group is not disease specific, it focuses on the caregiver. Join our vital group to meet others in our community who, like you, are caring for an older adult loved one. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 1pm in the Patty Turner Center Library. Drop in. FREE. For more info call Margie at PTC 847-940-4010. Do care obligations keep you from attending our Support Groups? Here’s a solution! Through our treasured partnership with Faith in Action Volunteers, we are able to offer some respite options. On-site supervision of your loved one in our front lobby may be available during the Alzheimer and ACES meetings. Care recipients must be comfortable being apart from their loved one, have appropriate behavior, and be able to use the restroom on their own. Also, on a more limited basis, a trained Faith in Action volunteer may come to your home, if needed, while you attend the ACES meeting. For both services, prescreening and reservations are required. There is never a fee. Please call Margie at PTC for eligibility requirements and more information.

For those of you unfamiliar with the BAP: One must be 65 or older--or over 16 and totally disabled; AND have an annual income from all sources under $27,610 for singles or $36,635 for couples. The application is good for two years. ALL applications and documentation must be submitted online; no paper forms exist. You can do it yourself at the Illinois Department on Aging’s website.
