New Resource for Illinois Health and Elder Care Providers
Illinois health and elder care businesses voluntarily agree to independent third-party validation of quality care. Senior Approved Services proves to be a viable solution for the elderly and the family caregiver with the continued support of the private business sector.
Senior Approved Services (SAS) has served over 8,000 seniors since 2003 at no cost to the senior and without asking or expecting supportive dollars from Federal or State funding.
Illinois resident and entrepreneur, Ms. Bobbi Hamilton, has generously agreed to help sponsor Senior Approved Services for the state of Illinois. Please see [http://www.seniorapproved-illinois.com]. Ms. Hamilton is the founder and CEO of Hamilton Home Care Services, Inc. located in Villa Park IL. Hamilton is also a Certified Senior Approved Service after having successfully completed the SAS required ethic-based consumer driven survey process.
The demand for additional resources to serve both the needs of the aging population and supportive programs for the family caregiver within IL is clear.

Seniors, family caregivers, social workers, discharge planners, and even EAP groups make use of SAS service free of charge. SAS is supported by; forward thinking, caring, elder care businesses that recognize the need to protect the elder population from contracting with less than desirable companies.
The health and elder care businesses awarded the Senior Approved Certification have, without any state or federal mandate, paid a fee for the required survey process. In return, their services are recommended and endorsed to seniors and family caregivers in Illinois as a safe and reliable service to contract with.
Each Certified Senior Approved Service must adhere to a code of ethics in its daily operations. The ethical business practices of health and elder care-related services, resources, and products is proven through the successful completion of the ethic-based consumer-driven survey process.
Barbara Mascio, founder of Senior Approved Services ([http://www.seniorapprovedcertification.com]) states, "No one in the health or elder care industry requires the survey or the high standards that we are looking for. We applaud our current Approved Services for being the leaders in their industry. We offer the only logical method available that truly addresses the issue of safety when contracting with an outside service to provide care for an aging loved one."
Complimenting existing programs, SAS is poised to make a positive impact within Illinois. The goal of Senior Approved Services is to develop a 'One-Call-Solution'. SAS currently receives far more inquiries than it has services to recommend. This opens up a tremendous opportunity, not only for health and elder care related service providers, but it also includes opportunities for those businesses that cater to the senior citizen and are not considered 'elder care'.
