InTouch Adult Day Services in Moline to Close

Credit Lutheran Social Services of Illinois

The largest provider of social services in Illinois is making state-wide cuts due to the budget impasse-- that includes the closure of an adult care center in Moline. Intouch Adult Day Services, on the Avenue of the Cities, will close next month.

Spokeswoman Barb Hailey says Lutheran Social Services is ending 30 programs and cutting more than 750 jobs across Illinois. That's 43 percent of its total employees. 

In the Quad Cities, Intouch Adult Day Services will close its doors after 36 years. The closure means 70 jobs will be lost, and 250 people will no longer be served in the area. 

Hailey says the state owes Lutheran over $6 million. As a result, 4,700 seniors and people with disabilities will no longer receive care from Lutheran Social Services.
