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.
This award is based entirely on the care provided in our long term care centers every day. In addition to key data about the center, questions focus on qualifiable information about the care provided—census trends, antipsychotic usage, etc. To find out more, click here.
