Care Coordination, Living at Home Waiver Program
This innovative statewide program is designed to assist younger adults (aged 60 and under) who want to leave nursing facilities for homes of their own in the community. The program is highly consumer directed, especially regarding attendant care. There are three options for using attendant care, including one in which consumers act as the employers of their attendants.
Under this program, consumers have access to The Coordinating Center’s unique Housing Transition Office as well as The Center’s Transition Teams. The organization’s Housing Transition Office has been widely recognized for success in locating accessible, affordable housing. The specialized transition teams are staffed by service coordinators who are trained in the complex transition process and in helping people as they re-establish their households in the community. These two components work closely together to accomplish the move from facility to home as soon as possible, considering consumer choice and health and safety concerns.
Ongoing service coordination is provided by coordinators with diverse backgrounds, skills and areas of expertise. Covered services are varied. The actual services delivered and included in a plan of service are contingent on the person’s unique needs and the fiscal limitations of the program. There is a cost effectiveness requirement. Coordinating Center service coordinators assist consumers develop their plans of treatment in consideration of need and program limitations. Services may include the following:
- Comprehensive service coordination
- Fiscal Intermediary
