FY27 APS Training/Supervision Assistance Grant

This grant is issued to support activities authorized under the Elder Justice Act Section 2042(b) of Title XX of the Social Security Act [Public Law 74-271] [As Amended Through P.L. 115-123, Enacted February 9, 2018]. Funding under the Department on Aging, Advocacy and Prevention Services for Adult Protective Services will include reimbursement for Supervision and Training. As staffing shortages and worker retention issues continue to strain the APS Network, it is imperative that IDoA look for innovative ways to sustain programs. IDoA is proposing to pay for the substantiation decision supervision where a case worker presents the facts and evidence obtained during the investigation at a rate of $100.00 per occurrence. Likewise, until the time that an APS provider agency can bill for services, they receive no revenue for new hires. IDoA is proposing an hourly 'required training reimbursement'. The hourly payment of $55.00 per hour would strengthen training, a factor in staff retention, by incentivizing more rapid hiring of caseworkers allowing time for additional training as well as encouraging training for existing staff. Trainings included in the hourly rate are: Phase I, Phase II, Supervisor, Simulation, annual Dementia, Annual Trauma Informed Care, SAGE, In-Service, and Recertification. For training, providers may bill the hourly rate of $55.00 and for supervision, providers may bill the rate of $100.00 per occurrence up to the amounts listed below for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027: Aging Care Connections $56,000 Alternatives $90,000 Care Horizon $82,000 Catholic Charities (Joliet) $79,000 Center for Prevention of Abuse $133,500 Coles County Council on Aging $31,000 Community Home Environmental Learning Project, Inc. $65,000 CRIS Healthy Aging Center $47,000 DuPage County Community Services $90,000 Elder Care Services of DeKalb $40,000 Kenneth Young Center $9,500 Locust Street Resource Center $20,500 Lifescape Community Services-Community Kitchen $53,000 Lifescape Community Services $45,000 MercyHealth Visiting Nurses Association $42,000 Metropolitan Family Services - PSA 12 $242,000 Metropolitan Family Services - SS Cook $51,500 Metropolitan Family Services - PSA 13 $40,000 North Shore Senior Center $50,000 Oak Park Township $12,000 Pathlights $38,000 Prairie Council on Aging $25,000 Senior Service Associates $96,000 Senior Services of Will County $82,000 Shawnee Alliance for Seniors $88,000 Sinai Community Institute $58,000 Solutions for Care $50,000 Southwestern Illinois Visiting Nurses Association $140,000 Stephenson County Resource center $33,000 SWAN - PSA 09 $54,000 SWAN - PSA 10 $40,000 West Central Illinois CCU $17,000
