Diversion from going into a Nursing Facility or Other Institution

We place a great deal of emphasis on empowering people to stay out of institutions:​

1. Most people prefer to stay in their own homes or community as they age or their disability progresses. Choice, quality of life, better health, positive socialization, and dignity are many of the reasons cited by people with disabilities.

2. It costs our state twice as much to maintain a person in a nursing facility, rather than in their home.

3. It is always easier to keep someone out of a facility, rather than transition them out.

​

Our service assists people with disabilities who wish to continue to live in their chosen community, rather than have to go into a nursing facility. This service is provided through a combination of a variety of our other services and programs, such as peer support, home modifications, and assistive tools and technology Transition from Nursing Facilities or Other Institutions
