Illinois State Senator Dale Righter will be part of a team of lawmakers, state agencies that oversee healthcare services, and organizations that advocate for senior citizens, among others, that will study and offer suggestions on how the state can do a more efficient job when serving the health needs of senior citizens who live in their homes. Righter was appointed to the Community Care Task Force yesterday. The task force will review the current services provided to senior citizens living in the community, potential savings associated with alternative services for senior citizens and effective care models for the growing senior citizen population. The Community Care Task Force must report its findings and recommendations to Governor Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly by January 30th.
