IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Nursing Facility Transition - Individuals with disabilities are assisted in achieving their chosen goals and objectives to transition out of a nursing facility into the community. In order to assist these individuals in their transition process, community services, resources and supports are identified and coordinated on behalf of these transitioning consumers in order to assist them in achieving their goal to live in the community. Advocacy methods are utilized when appropriate. There were 42 consumers assisted in this process with 21 successfully being transitioned out of the nursing facility. These individuals, now living in the community, in their residence of choice, receive 6 months of regular status follow-up checks, satisfaction surveys, and referral for any needed changes in their personal care plans.
