Reggie Griffin fixing dinner consisting of baked beans with hot dog and a salad. John E. Johnson, who is not eligible for medicaid, receives services for 12 hours per week through Illinois’ Community Care Program. Johnson worries his services will be cut if the state transition seniors like him to a new program. The state employs Reggie Griffin to help Johnson with daily chores so he is able to stay in his home, as opposed to going to an nursing home.
