Nursing Home Transition and Diversion
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion is a home and community-based program provided by the New York State Department of Health that helps Medicaid-eligible people with physical disabilities and seniors receive the services they need while living in a community-based setting, rather than in a nursing home. Program participants may come from a nursing facility (transition) or choose to participate in the waiver to prevent placement into nursing facility (diversion). Program participants receive services based on their unique strengths, needs, choices, and goals. The participant is the primary decision makers.

SERVICE COORDINATION
SERVICE COORDINATION
Service Coordination is a person-centered program provided by qualified personnel for individuals served. Our Service Coordinators provide the primary assistance to the waiver participant in gaining access to needed waiver and Medicaid Plan Services. Service Coordinators coordinate and monitors the provision of all services in the plan once the individual is determined eligible.
Service Coordinators also assist waiver participants in improving their functional independence by identifying and accessing community resources (e.g., finances, home care, transportation, vocational, mental health, and other community-based services) that can meet their environmental, personal, or interpersonal needs.
The Service Coordinators at D&M Social Services coordinate assessments, make referrals, provide information regarding benefits and entitlements, monitor, and maintain most services/supports as they apply to the waiver participant.
