Community Transition Services Program
Through collaboration with the State of Michigan and funded through the Center for Medicaid Services (CMS), SAIL strives to identify and transition individuals living in nursing home facilities who would be better served to live independently in the community. SAIL provides information and supports for people who want to move from nursing homes to the housing option of their choice.
- Identify individuals who do not meet the level of care and would like to transition out of the nursing facility. This program would support the individual and their family in providing support and information to return to a home of their choice.
- Assist individuals in developing a Community Transition Assessment (CTA) that helps to outline their person-centered plan for transition
- Assess and support the individual in identifying a barrier to independent living
- Evaluate housing options, assess potential barriers and find ways to overcome them through referrals to local housing services providers
- Prepare for transition by identifying needs for support, transportation, and community activities
- Follow individuals once they transitioned into the community to ensure success
