Founded in 1950, the Illinois Health Care Association is a non-profit organization comprised of more than 500 licensed and certified long term care facilities and programs throughout the state.
IHCA seeks to promote the highest standard of services in facilities and programs for the elderly and physically and mentally challenged. Our mission is to lead in advocacy and education for our members.
Our members are comprised of proprietary and non-proprietary facilities that represent skilled, intermediated, developmentally and intellectually disabled, skilled pediatric, assisted living and sheltered levels of care.
Illinois.carefortheaging.org offers site visitors a variety of information on career opportunities available in long term care in Illinois. Interested candidates can submit an interest form, which will allow them to be linked up with association members through the member portal. To sign up to use the portal, IHCA/ICAL/CDDACS members should scroll to the bottom of the site, click on Member Portal and go through the steps to register.
It has come to our attention several IHCA members have received emails appearing to be from IHCA staff members, with an attachment labeled as an unpaid invoice. These are scam emails. Please be aware, while it may display as coming from an IHCA staff member, but they are not generated from the IHCA server. Please do not open any attachments on these emails, and immediately report them as spam/phishing attempts. If you question about an invoice, please call the IHCA office.
Do you have an outstanding staff member you think deserves special recognition? The IHCA Excellence Awards - Staff & Specialty is an excellent opportunity to make that happen.
