Service area

Illinois Care Connections (ICC) provides technology devices to older adults who are experiencing social isolation and loneliness. Participants receive an Apple iPad or an Android tablet, along with a case, keyboard, and headphones. If needed, they are also provided internet access through a hot spot. The technology is used to increase social engagement and social connectedness. The priority is to serve those who live alone, do not normally receive in-home services, and who live in rural areas.
