Seminar Description:
Under the Marsters v. Healey lawsuit the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (EOHHS) must take a comprehensive set of actions over an eight-year period to provide informed choice, case management services, specialized services, and residential services and supports necessary to transition no fewer than 2,400 class members from nursing facilities to the community. Under the Settlement Agreement, nursing facilities must continue to provide timely resident information to the Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) community discharge liaison and reasonable access to nursing facility residents that are identified as appropriate for the Community Transition Liaison Program (CTLP), Money Follows the Person Demo (MFP), PASRR SMI and the Behavioral Health Community Partners (BH CP) programs.
This session will feature staff from MassHealth and the Executive Office of Aging & Independence (formerly EOEA) who will review services offered by these programs, eligibility criteria, and the nursing facilities role in transitioning eligible residents.
Participants attending this webinar will:
•Describe the key state programs that provide assistance for residents who are interested in moving to a qualified community setting
•Identify eligibility criteria for the MFP program
•Understand the role of the Community Transition Liaison Program for both nursing residents and the facilities they reside in
