Rebalancing the Long-Term Care System Rebalancing the Long-Term Care System
Rebalancing the Long-Term Care System
|
Significant efforts are underway at both the state and national levels to "rebalance" the long-term care system to give consumers needing long-term care services more choices in where and how they receive those services. "CHOICES," "Money Follows the Person," "Nursing Home Transition and Diversion" are some of the terms being used and programs developed in rebalancing efforts. Here you will find information about these different programs, including Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC's) which are single points of entry to long-term care services being developed around the country.

The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Grant Program, a cooperative effort of the Administration on Aging (AoA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was developed to assist states in their efforts to create a single, coordinated system of information and access for all persons seeking long term support to minimize confusion, enhance individual choice, and support informed decision-making. The ADRC Technical Assistance Exchange (TAE) provides technical assistance through one-on-one support, semi-annual ADRC national meetings, weekly newsletters, monthly webcasts, and a variety of other ways. See additional information here.
Nursing Facility Transitional Toolkit
As part of its work for the National Ombudsman Resource Center, NASUA developed a resource kit for ombudsmen programs on nursing facility transition. See the toolkit here.
Money Follows the Person
The Transitions Program, the federal program that is working to assist long-term care facility residents to live independently. Read and learn more.
Summary of AOA's Nursing Home Diversion Program
The summary was written by Gene Coffey at the National Senior Citizens Law Center (NSCLC), and provides an overview of the program. It also includes descriptions of the programs being implemented in three states: West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Kentucky.
