It's rewarding to work with families and older persons in Illinois, but following the guidelines can be challenging. CarePolicy simplifies it. Our home health, hospice, assisted living and shared housing, home services and home nursing, adult day services, supportive living, behavioral health, developmental disability residential programs, and DME are all covered by our Illinois Provider Policies, Procedures & Collections and practical licensing assistance. Begin with ready-to-file policies mapped to Illinois statutes and survey expectations, then lean on our consultants to organize your application, inspection prep, and Medicaid enrollment. We support you as you confidently go, whether you are starting your first agency in Chicago or growing throughout the state.

Illinois continues to grow towards home and community services while managing the shortage of workers. CarePolicy includes competency checklists, position descriptions, and workable orientation programs to ensure that your workforce is prepared for surveys, reliable, and secure right away.

Illinois Licensing Overview

The majority of organizations and facilities in Illinois, such as ICF/IID, home health, hospice, assisted living and shared housing, nursing homes, and ambulatory surgical care centers, are licensed by the Department of Public Health. Adult Day Service providers are certified by the Department on Aging to participate in state programs. The Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery at the Department of Human Services grants licenses for substance use disorder treatment as well as for Community Integrated Living Arrangement agencies. Nurse agencies are licensed by the Department of Labor, while providers of home medical equipment are licensed by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Online applications, background checks, fees, program and life safety inspections, and Medicaid enrollment via HFS's IMPACT portal are typical procedures. These duties are bundled into a comprehensive strategy with checklists, deadlines, and templates by our Illinois Care Provider Licensing Consultations.

Illinois State Specific FAQs

How long does initial licensure take in Illinois?

Timelines vary. After submitting a complete application, home services agencies often receive a provisional decision within about 90 days. Survey readiness and scheduling affect the remaining steps. Our project plan outlines prerequisites and documents to help prevent delays.

What inspections should I expect?

Along with policy and record audits, IDPH conducts program, environmental, and life safety reviews as needed. The Adult Day Service certification also includes a precertification site review. We provide corrective action templates, mock survey tracers, and customized inspection checklists for your setting.

How are assisted living, shared housing, and supportive living different?

IDPH licenses assisted living and shared housing establishments. Supportive Living, however, operates under an HFS Medicaid program with its own participation and operational rules. We provide tailored preparedness guides and policy frameworks for each model.

Home Services Agency vs. Home Nursing Agency vs. Nurse Agency?

Under IDPH, home services provide non-medical personal care. Home nursing, regulated separately by IDPH, delivers skilled nursing at home based on a care plan. Nurse agencies, licensed by the Department of Labor, place nurses and CNAs in healthcare facilities. We help you select the right model and prepare the necessary documentation and policies.

How does Medicaid enrollment work in Illinois?

After obtaining your state license or certification, enroll through HFS’s IMPACT system and complete managed care credentialing. Be prepared to submit site readiness attestations, NPI, ownership disclosures, and compliance documentation. Our packages support smooth enrollment and audits with tools covering fraud, waste, and abuse prevention, HIPAA, incident reporting, and billing controls.

What is required for CILA providers?

IDHS DDD prerequisites include agency enrollment, DSP training, health and safety, incident reporting, human rights, and participation in ROCS and IMPACT systems. We provide staff training matrices, CILA-focused policies, and state-compliant monitoring tools.

"Though I initially felt some hesitation about the product after reading the online table of contents, my concerns were completely addressed after a call with Anton at the home office. He provided excellent reassurance that the final product would be exactly as stated and that I would be able to customize it with my business's information. Anton also assured me that ongoing support would be available to answer any questions and guide me through the process. Upon receiving and reviewing the handbook, it perfectly matched the description. I would not only purchase from this company again but also highly recommend them."
