Remarks from the Executive Director

I am in my tenth year as Executive Director of AALC. I am proud of the Supportive Living model and how it changes the lives of the people we serve and those of us who work in it.

Our big triumph in for SFY 2015 was the passage of a state law that gave SL operators an 8.85% rate increase and the opportunity for another rate increase of 9.09% contingent upon federal approval of SL provider tax. This was followed by passage of another state law to cut Medicaid rates, including SL, by 12.6% for May and June 2015, as means of dealing with the state’s budget shortfall in SFY 2015. As of September 2015, there is no state budget in place for SFY 2016 and this continues to be a great source of concern. Also, AALC has had to fight against the Governor’s proposal to cut SL rates by 8.85% and to increase the DON score from 29 to 37.

2015 has also been challenging as we continued to deal with Medicaid managed care. AALC has tried to help members by offering legal reviews of managed care contracts and sponsoring education sessions on managed care. This will continue to be part of our mission over the next several years as conversion to managed care unfolds and SL operators are faced with a new business model.

Another big issue facing SL is the ongoing federal initiative to redefine community living and to assure that assisted living is included. This has been evolving since 2009 and continues to be problematic for some operators, especially those located on a hospital or nursing home campus. Those sites must overcome the presumption of being “institutional” by presenting information showing that they are a community-based setting. This issue will persist until Illinois’ transition plan for all HCBS waivers is approved over the next few years.

AALC still believes it is important to promote the SL Program and the quality of life it engenders. This is an ongoing process and is important to many people we deal with in SL including elected officials, other health care professionals (managed care fits in here) and the general public at large. Our slogan and theme for celebrating SL in 2015 was “My Health. My Life”. We asked SL communities to encourage residents to take ownership of their own health and to send in recipes for healthy living that helps people to do this.

AALC had other significant achievements in 2015 which include:

SL Week April 20-24

6th Annual Wii Bowling Tournament and Final Four in Decatur.

Statewide Brain Games contest and Finals in Decatur.

Capitol Visit to meet the Governor and other elected legislative officials.

Annual Reception

Semi-annual Joint Training with Leading Age Illinois and HFS.

Thank you for your ongoing support of AALC. Thanks even more for the special way you care for and provide a high quality life for the residents we cherish and serve!

Wayne Smallwood Executive Director

As you would expect 2015 has been a very challenging year for all of us in the SL

business. We have endured challenges in the form of growing pains in the

implementation of the MMAI program as well as end of fiscal year 2015 rate cuts.

Additionally, we have to live with the uncertainty of the financial health of the

State of Illinois as the fiscal year 2016 budget battle rages on with no end in sight

(at least not as of the date I am writing these remarks).

So what do we have to look forward to as we all begin to plan for 2016 and

beyond? First and foremost, we all have to be thankful that we have a very strong

trade association in AALC with great executive and Board leadership that is

working tirelessly in representing our industry’s interests as these challenges are

being addressed. Secondly it appears that state government is finally beginning

to address the financial issues that have put the State of Illinois in the financial

predicament that it is in today. Finally, while we don’t know what the final solutions

will actually be and how they will affect SL, we all believe that kicking the can

down the road again will only make matters worse in the future.

The importance of AALC’s representation during challenging years like 2015 cannot be understated.

Remember that while all this plays out in Springfield, AALC will continue to represent our

membership in reaching our goals. During 2015 we successfully elevated the public perception of

Supportive Living by meeting with elected officials and leading a statewide communications

campaign. In addition, great activities such as “My Health. My Life.” SL Week further established

how the SLP is having a positive impact on our state and residents. Additionally, many of our SL

communities hosted many outreach events for their local state officials. These combined efforts

have gone a long way in helping stave off such issues like the DON Score increase and rate cuts

and will continue to help protect our program.

Again many thanks to Wayne, Katherine and the entire Board of Directors for their efforts over the past year. You all are a great team to work with in our efforts to make SLF “Part of the Solution” for our State as we serve our seniors

and/or operate affordable assisted living projects under Illinois’ Supportive Living Program (SLP). We also

recognize business partners who have an interest or are involved in the Illinois SLP as Associate and Premier

Associate members.

AALC believes every person who needs it, regardless of income, deserves high quality assisted living. By

advancing SLP best practices, providing strong leadership, and developing strategic partnerships and

alliances, the Coalition aims to advance Illinois’ Supportive Living Program as the premier affordable assisted

living model in the country.

Members of AALC receive the following benefits:

Advocacy & Government Relations

Training, Education, & Networking

The State of Illinois’ Supportive Living Program (SLP) offers an alternative

to nursing home care for elderly and disabled citizens of Illinois. Those

frail elderly aged 65 and over or persons with disabilities age 22 and older

who are considered low-income and receive Medicaid benefits can

participate in the SLP.

The Illinois SLP program

emphasizes personal choice,

dignity, privacy, and individuality,

while promoting residents’ health

and wellness. By combining

apartment-style housing with

personal care and other

services, residents can live

independently and are free to

make decisions about their daily

living and activities.

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) has a

Medicaid waiver that allows payment for services not routinely covered by

Medicaid. These include personal care, homemaking, laundry, medication

supervision, social activities, recreation, and 24-hour staff to meet

residents' scheduled and unscheduled needs.

In 2015, the number of operating SL sites grew from 143 communities to

144, increasing the capacity to serve 11,579 individuals to 11,697 people

who might otherwise be living in nursing homes. 18 sites have been

approved for the SLP program and are in various stages of construction

and development. In all, there are SL communities in 73 counties in

Illinois.

There are currently five SL communities that participated in a pilot project

designed to provide specialized housing and care for persons with

dementia. That pilot program expired June 30, 2014. HFS is currently

reviewing the results of the pilot to determine whether it will be expanded.

The project is testing the viability of different models of dementia care in a

Supportive Living setting and providing HFS with information regarding the

level of assessment, staffing, service intensity, and activities required for

such communities to be successful. The five sites are in Decatur,

Effingham, Rantoul, North Aurora, and South Elgin.

The Supportive Living Program

“The numerous variety

and levels of activities

have enabled me to

become involved

physically and mentally

since moving to a

Supportive Living

community. I have lost

weight and feel more

vibrant and younger. I

look forward to

tomorrow and what life

had to offer while

staying active through

activities.”

AALC Membership

AALC Membership continues to remain strong and grow along with the

SLP. Currently, 137 of 144 operating SL communities are members of the

Coalition.

Our Premier and Associate membership is also strong. We have 9 Premier

Associate members and 53 Associate members. These businesses provide

critical support to AALC both financially and in the specialized services they

offer to our members.

All members have access to our members-only section of our website,

which contains important policy and legislative updates, promotes current

events and activities, and encourages more communication and networking

among members. This password-protected area provides access to

supportive living information, a discussion forum, and allows members to

share photographs and news featuring their community’s accomplishments

and successes.

Each fall, members gather for an annual meeting to receive updates on the

supportive living program, learn about the Coalition’s activity, discuss

relevant issues, and celebrate the success of the Coalition and the SLP.

AALC Advocacy & Governmental Relations

The Coalition closely follows legislative and regulatory issues that could potentially impact

supportive living providers. Through electronic alerts, presentations, and educational seminars, we

ensure that members are aware of and have appropriate input into such issues.

AALC specializes in government relations and maintains close working ties with government

agencies that are critical to the effectiveness of supportive living projects.

Rate Increase

Senate Bill 741 passed in June 2014 and provided an 8.85% rate increase for SL operators effective

July 1, 2014. A second rate increase of 9.09% is also included in the bill. The second rate increase

will be paid retroactively to July 1, 2014, contingent upon getting approval from the Federal

government for a Supportive Living assessment tax. An assessment tax is a provider tax to be paid

by SL operators based upon their paid care days. These two rate increases will get Supportive

Living rates to 55% and 60% of nursing rates, respectively, in effect as of January 1, 2014. HFS

continues to work with federal CMS to try to gain approval for a SL provider tax.

Managed Care

Illinois is in the process of reforming its Medicaid program by converting from traditional fee-for-

service to managed care or "coordinated care" payment system. This reform will change how SL

communities do business under the Medicaid program.

Two main components of managed care that will affect Supportive Living are the Medicare-Medicaid

Alignment Initiative (MMAI) and the Integrated Care Program (ICP).

· Under MMAI, Illinois and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will contract with health

plans to coordinate the delivery of and be accountable for all covered Medicare and Medicaid

services for participating Medicare-Medicaid enrollees.

· ICP is a form of managed care for Medicaid only adults and coordinates care for the patients. The

state continues to expand ICP in other parts of Illinois as part of the overall movement to

managed care.

Managed Care is a groundbreaking joint effort to reform the way healthcare is delivered to clients. It

is the biggest single issue impacting SL communities today. Getting members ready for managed

care is a very high priority for the Coalition.

AALC believes managed care offers an opportunity for SL communities under the Medicaid

Program, as communities can be valuable partners to the health plans (also known as managed

care organizations, or MCOs). Members must be proactive and stay educated on managed care

issues to take full advantage of the opportunity. AALC is committed to helping members in this

endeavor and provides consistent email updates, maintains a managed care directory, continues to

review MCO contracts, and hosts private member informational sessions.

7

Special Trainings

In 2015, AALC hosted six sessions that allowed SL operators a chance to meet in person with managed care

consultants and MCOs to learn more about the changes and ask important questions about the transition to

managed care:

AALC - Molina Care Coordination Workshop

In our efforts to continue to reach out to managed care organizations, AALC partnered with Molina to host a

care coordination workshop on February 4 in central Illinois. The session helped members understand how

managed care, especially Molina, will approach care coordination and will highlight best practices and funda-

mentals of care coordination. This workshop was a great opportunity to learn how managed care approaches

care coordination with Supportive Living operators. In addition, Supportive Living staff also had a chance to

share their approach to care coordination and their processes.

Omnicare & You - Current Initiatives and the Future of Assisted Living

Omnicare, a Premier Associate member of the Affordable Assisted Living Coalition, hosted Omnicare & You -

Current Initiatives and the Future of Assisted Living on June 10 in Schaumburg and invited AALC members to

attend. The event addressed topics such as:

"Lowering the Risk of Falls and their Consequences"

"Reducing or Eliminating Antipsychotics No Matter Where You Reside"

"The Future of Assisted Living - Where are We Headed: Trends in Assisted Living including increased

acuity levels, affordable services, memory care and other updates"

"Affordable Assisted Living"

"Omnicare's Assisted Living Platform - Enhancing both Safety and Pharmacy Services Provided to Assist-

ed Living Residents and Facilities"

Surviving Managed Care: SL One Day ICP MMAI Chal-

lenge with Polsinelli

This half day session on May 20 (Woodridge, IL) and June 25

(Springfield, IL) included a comprehensive update for SL pro-

viders on the new challenges the SLs face with the imple-

mentation of managed care, and the implications for provid-

ers. The session covered the major issues being faced by

providers and the issues that have hampered the MCO's ef-

forts. The presentation also reviewed Senate Bill 741 as well

as the important terms under the MCO agreement to give ad-

ditional protection to providers and beneficiaries.

AALC Training and Education

The success of the SLP depends on the knowledge and competence of every provider and community. To

build a strong and capable foundation of providers, AALC members receive access to ongoing training and

educational programs relating directly to affordable assisted living projects.

Coalition members receive significant discounts in registration fees to make it more affordable to attend

trainings and workshops. AALC Premier and Associate members have the opportunity to display exhibits at

no cost during some of these trainings to help increase visibility of their services.

“Supportive Living Success” Training

AALC, LeadingAge Illinois (formerly LSN), and HFS hosted our bi-annual training event, "Supportive Living

Success: Training for Providers and Reviewers” in June and November in Woodridge and Springfield.

Topics from the June program included:

Medicaid Managed Care Update

Intimacy and Sexuality in Individuals with Dementia

Your Way-How to Select a Care facility

Important Updates from HFS

Electronic Health Records, Secure Messaging and Secure Encryption

Antipsychotic Medications: Indications and Warnings

Topics from the November program included:

Illinois Activities to Align with Federal Medicaid Rules and Initiatives

Wound Care

Administrative Hearings 101

Taking Flight! Whole Life Wellness Programming

Veteran Pension with Aid and Attendance Benefit Medicaid Managed Care Updates Trainings are conducted by experts in their fields, including knowledgeable state staff and proven providers in

the SLP industry who have successfully developed practices. Topics presented contain information that can

be used by operational and approved SLF providers. In addition to the training content, ample opportunity for

questions and answers is provided as well as discussion by and among participants.

"Any season, I walk on a clear, shaded path.

Flower gardens or snow prints delight me.

Indoor halls are heated or cooled and ventilated for my well being.

Fresh food and hot coffee are offered to me.

The staff serves me, comfort me.

I am home."

Manager’s Training Curriculum

AALC's 7th Manager's Curriculum will begin September 22nd. The course offers participants a wide range of

information necessary in the successful day-to-day operation of a Supportive Living community. Topics

include: Management, Financial Management, Sales/Marketing, Resident Care, Resident Social Services,

Environmental Services, Food Services and Regulations and Standards of Operations.

The goal of this curriculum is to help individuals who want to qualify as a SL manager, but do not meet the

minimum experience qualifications set forth in the SL regulations. The course has two components: 60 hours

of classroom instruction and 40 hours of on-site instruction while working under the supervision of an

experienced SL manager. HFS has agreed to accept as a qualified SL manager anyone who satisfactorily

completes this first course and has at least two years of experience working in the healthcare field.

Social Media

Guided by Me Communications, AALC has increased postings of stories about SL activities to highlight the

great work being done by SLs throughout the state. We regularly share success stories, activity ideas, and

pictures from our member SLs.

SL Success Stories

AALC and Me Communications have published success stories on the website, www.aalconline.org. to

promote the importance of Supportive Living communities in Illinois. We continue to interview SL staff

members for human interest stories, innovative upcoming events, inspiring anecdotes, and SL success

stories to use in conjunction with other stories, as a standalone story, or as posts on our Facebook and

Twitter pages.

SL Week—8th Year

AALC’s premiere event, Supportive Living Week is held each year at the end of April. Supportive Living Week

celebrates the success of the Supportive Living Program as a viable and cost effective alternative for seniors

and persons with physical disabilities.

The Coalition coordinates an annual public relations and promotion event called Supportive Living Week as a

way to highlight the success of the SLP as an alternative for seniors and persons with physical disabilities.

Supportive Living Week was held April 20-24th and encouraged each community to hold open houses and

other celebrations during that time.

With the strong interest and participation in

Supportive Living Week events, the Coalition has

expanded the celebration to occur over several

months rather than just one week. Planning for

Supportive Living Week begins the summer before,

and events kick-off as early as December and

January with activities culminating in August.

Following is a recap of Supportive Living Week 2015:

“My Health. My Life”

Our theme for 2015 was “My Health. My Life” The Coalition sponsored activities

to raise awareness of the benefits our affordable assisted living model provides

the State and to the seniors and people with disabilities we serve. AALC chose

this theme because it highlights the community spirit that lives within each of

our SLs.

Brain Games Competition

Last year's trivia competition showed us that our residents know their stuff! This year, we brought trivia back

and added a little twist to it by finding out how much participants are willing to bet that they know the right

answer. We're confident that our 2015 Brain Games Trivia, a combination between Trivia and Jeopardy will

add another dimension to this already popular game.

The top 10 Brain Games teams advanced from five regional competitions to the state championship in

Springfield, IL on May 27-28. On day one, the top ten teams all competed and the top four teams advanced to

finals on day two.

SL Communities Day at the Capitol

At AALC, we’ve found that one of the most effective ways of showcasing the

many benefits of Supportive Living is by having residents and staff members

share their Supportive Living experiences in person with elected officials during

our annual SL Week Capitol Visit!

Each year, we make a powerful impact by filling the halls of the Capitol with

Supportive Living residents. On April 15, our residents and staff members

traveled to the Capitol to meet with elected officials to discuss issues relating to

the Supportive Living Program. We’ve witnessed firsthand the impact these

visits can have on both our residents and elected officials.

SL Tool Kit

Assembled especially for AALC members, this free tool kit contained sample

documents and marketing materials to help communities plan their own open

houses and other special events during SL Week. The kit, distributed in

December, included descriptions of our Supportive Living Week events,

downloadable resources and graphics, ideas for planning celebrations with

residents, families, and staff, guidelines for statewide consumer education

events, and various sample communications materials.

Product Sales

AALC designed products to help residents and staff promote SL. The Items

featured the SL Week 2015 logo on t-shirts, balloons, pedometers, buttons,

drink tumblers, maracas, posters, reusable tote bags and more.

“I enjoy living here at

more about the SLP and association membership. Through the site, AALC

promotes the SLP model and explains the benefits of membership.

Prospective members can download an application, and current members

can access members-only resources and documents. The website provides

a member directory and promotes our Premier Associate and Associate

member businesses. It also features a Calendar of Events and highlights

supportive living success stories.

AALC’s public relations firm, Me Communications, elevates the visibility of

the SLP and the Coalition among the media, elected officials, and the

public partners. Me Communications partners Bill Bradley and Janet Soule

maintain the AALC Facebook page and Twitter account. They have also

developed templates that our members can use to easily communicate with

legislators and media outlets about the importance of the SLP and how

proposed legislation could affect their communities.

“Coming to my Supportive

Living community has truly

helped me regain my

strength, not only in body,

but mind. The staff is

terrific and they keep us

busy. Of all the places

I've lived, this really is the

place I call home.”
