 THE PAST YEAR WITH NEW STAFF AND NEW FUNDING

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
 AND BASICALLY WE'RE HERE TO SHARE ABOUT OUR TOOLS

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.000
 AND EXPERIENCES THAT WE'VE ACCUMULATED OVER

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000
 THIS PAST YEAR AND ALLOT OF STUFF THAT WE'VE LEARN

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.000
ED THE HARD WAY SO THAT FOLKS WHO ARE IN THE SAME

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
 SHOES WE WERE THIS TIME LAST YEAR, CAN

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.000

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.000
 WE'RE EXCITED TOBE HERE EMPOWERING FOLKS

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.000
 TO DO THIS IMPORTANT WORK.    THIS

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.000
 NEXT SLIDE SAYS OUR PHILOSOPHY.  I THINK THIS IS A

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000
 GOOD PLACE FOR US TO START.  OUR

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000
 PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS OUR FOUNDATION FOR ALL

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.000
 OF THE TRANSITIONS THAT WE

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.000
 SUPPORT IS THAT ALL PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.000
 LIVE INDEPENDENTLY IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE RIGHT

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.000
 SUPPORTS.    I KNOW THAT PROBABLY SEEM

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000
S OBVIOUS, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.000
 COME TO US AND SAY WELL, HOW DO WE KNOW IF SOMEONE

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.000
 CAN TRANSITION?  HOW DO WE KNOW IF SOMEONE IS READY TO TRANS

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.000
ITION?  AND OUR JOB IS NOT TO MAKE THAT

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.000
 DETERMINATION.  OUR JOB IS TO

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.000
 ASSUME THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE THE

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.000
 INNATE CAPABILITY TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY AND THAT THE

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.000
 ONLY VARIABLE IS THOSE RESOURCES.  SO WE'RE SHIFT

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000
ING THE CONVERSATION FROM ABILITY OR

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.000
 INABILITY, TO ACCESS

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.000
ING THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THOSE TRANSITION

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000
S.   

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.000
  THE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE GONNA SHOW A TIMELINE FOR OUR TRANS

00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.000
ITION SERVICES.  I'M GOING TO DESCRIBE EACH

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.000
 SECTION OF THE TIMELINE BUT YOU CAN ALSO VIEW ALL OF

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:07.000
 OUR SLIDES AS A PDF

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.000
 DOCUMENT ON APRIL CONFERENCE WEBSITE IF THAT IS HELPFUL TO YOU

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.000
.    SO THE TRANSITION TIME

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
LINE THE PURPOSE IS TO GIVE

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.000
 YOU A SENSE OF WHAT TRANSITIONS LOOK LIKE FROM START TO FINISH

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.000
.    TRANSITIONS TAKE A LONG TIME, THERE IS LOT OF

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.000
 MOVING PIECES AND THEY'RE VERY COMPLEX.  SO WE'RE

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.000
 GONNA ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE WE GET INTO NITY GRIT

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.000
IES OF RESOURCES AND CHALLENGES BEST PRACTICES

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.000
, AND SO ON THAT MY COLLEAGUES WILL BE DISCUSSING

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.000
.    SO FIRST THINGS FIRST, WE

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.000
 START WITH AN INTAKE.  THIS IS OUR PROCESS

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.000
 FOR TURNING A PERSON INTO A CONSUMER AND

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.000
 ADDING THEM TO OUR DATABASE.  THIS IS WHEN

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
 WE DO SOME INITIAL SCREENING,

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.000
 PITA WILL TALK LATER ABOUT

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.000
 IDENTIFYING RED FLAGS AND

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.000
 CHALLENGES SUPER EARLY ON SO WE CAN BE PROACT

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.000
IVE ABOUT ADDRESSING THOSE AND GETTING THOSE TAKEN CARE OF

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.000
.  IT IS ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT TO BUILD RAPPO

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.000
RT FROM THE FIRST CONTACT WITH THE CONSUMER YOU HAVE.  ONE

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
 THING THAT TRANSITION SUCCESSFUL

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
 TRANSITION RELIES ON IS TRUTHFUL

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
NESS AND TRUST AND WE SNEED

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.000
 NEED TO HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CON

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.000
SUMER FOR THEM TO TRUST US AND BE TRUTHFUL

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.000
 AND SHARE INFORMATION WITH US SO THAT

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.000
 WE CAN HELP MAKE TRANSITIONS SUCCESSFUL.    THE IN

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.000
TAKE IS PRETTY SHORT.  IT ONLY TENDS TO

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.000
 TAKE ABOUT ONE OR

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.000
 TWO MEETINGS.  WHAT DOES TAKE A LITTLE LONGER IS THE

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.000
 ACTUAL TRANSITION PLAN.  ONCE A PERSON HAS

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.000
 DECIDED THEY WANT TO MOVE OUT AND LIVE INDEPENDENTLY, WE WORK WITH

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.000
 THEM TO CREATE A TRANSITION PLAN AND FOR US, THAT LOOKS LIKE

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.000
 A PROCESS OF WHAT WE CALL PERSON

00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.000
 CENTERED COUNSELING, BECAUSE EACH TRANS

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.000
ITION IS DIFFERENT, BECAUSE EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT. 

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.000
 SO WHAT SOMEONE WANTS TO ACHIEVE

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.000
 LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY IS ENTIRELY UP TO

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.000
 THEM AND TA GET TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT A THEIR GOAL

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.000
S AND PRIORITIES ARE WHEN THE COME

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.000
S TO LOAVEING THE FACILITY.  DO THEY WANT TO GO HOME AND LIVE

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.000
 WITH THE FAMILY?  DO THEY WANT TO THEIR FIND THEIR OWN APARTMENT

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.000
?  OR MOVE IN WITH A FRIEND OR ROOMMATE?  THIS IS

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.000
 OUR TIME TO DETERMINE THOSE GOALS SO THAT WE

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.000
 ARE WORKING TOWARDS THEM

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.000
 AND ALSO WHAT LONG TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTSS

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.000
 ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THOSE GOALS

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.000
 SUCCESSFUL?    THIS IS ALSO WHEN WE CONNECT WITH

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.000
 THE PERSON'S SUPPORT NETWORK.  IF

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.000
 THEY HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.000
 GOAL TO MOVE BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY,

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.000
 THAT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL.  ALSO THE SOCIAL

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.000
 WORKER AT THE FACILITY. 

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.000
 IF THE SOCIAL WORKER IS ON OUR SIDE AND IN OUR POCKET,

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.000
 THEY CAN DO A LOT OF REALLY HELPFUL THINGS AND THIS PROCESS

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.000
 TYPICALLY TAKES ABOUT ONE MONTH.   

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.000
  THIS NEXT PART OF THE PROCESS IS WHAT TAKES THE LONG

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.000
EST AND THAT'S PREPARING

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.000
 THE LONG TERM SERVICE SXZ SUPPORT.  SO WE NEED TO HAVE LT

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.000
SS IN PLACE BEFORE THE PERSON LEAVE

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.000
S THE FACILITY TO MAKE SURE THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT IS

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.000
 EQUIPPED FOR THEM TO LIVE SUCCESSFULLY IN IT

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.000
.  LTSS AGAIN, IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.000
 PERSON AND EVERY SET OF NEEDS.  LTSS COULD BE

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.000
 HOUSING, COULD BE IN HOME CARE,

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.000
 INCOME, ASSISTIVE TECH

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.000
NOLOGY, DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.000
 AND HOME MODIFICATIONS, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS IF

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.000
 THOSE ARE NEEDED.  MENTAL SUPPORTS ARE VERY OFTEN

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.000
 A PIECE THAT IS CRUCIAL BUT THAT

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.000
 PEOPLE TEND TO LEAVE OUT.  AND A LOT OF

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.000
 TIMES MENTAL HEALTH IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE END

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.000
 UP IN FACILITYS IN THE FIRST PLACE.  SPECIFICALLY

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000
 ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ADDICTION OR

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.000
 SUBSTANCE USE.  SO ADDRESSING THOSE EARL

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.000
Y ON CAN BE HELPFUL.    WE ALSO GO HOME SHOPPING AND

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.000
 WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHERE WE GET THE FUNDING WE USE TO

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.000
 PURCHASE SOME HOME GOODS BUT WHEN THE PERSON GOES INTO THEIR

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.000
 APARTMENT IT NEEDS NOT BE EMPTY.  IT

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.000
 NEEDS TO HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.  IT

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.000
 NEEDS A BED, IT NEEDS DISHES, IT NEEDS TOLL

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.000
 TOWELS.  MAKING

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.000
 SURE THEY HAVE THOSE HOME

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.000
 ESSENTIALS.  THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.000
 TO 6 MONTHS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE NEEDS ARE.    NEXT

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.000
 IS DISCHARGE PLANNING.  THIS PROCESS USUALLY HAPPEN

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.000
S ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE DISCHARGE ACTUALLY

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.000
 OCCURS AND THIS IS MOSTLY JUST FOLLOW

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.000
 UP, FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP.    AS HELPFUL

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
 AS THE SOCIAL WORKER MIGHT BE, WE CAN'T

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.000
 MAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE.  WE HAVE TO

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.000
 CHECK IN WITH THEM, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.000
, HAVE THEY BEEN CONNECTED WITH A COMMUNITY DOCTOR THEY CAN

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.000
 START SEEING WHEN THEY LEAVE THE FACILITY?  DO THEY

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.000
 HAVE A 30 DAY SUPPLY OF THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS THEY'RE READY

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.000
 TO GO HOME WITH STH DO THEY HAVE THAT HOSPITAL BED THAT

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:23.000
 THE SOCIAL WORKER WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK ON GETTING AHOLD

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.000
 OF FOR THEM?  SO JUST RE

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.000
VISITING THAT TRANSITION PLAN AND MAKING SURE EVERY WE

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.000
 IDENTIFIED THAT NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE IS IN FACT, IN PLACE. 

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:36.000
   ALSO MAYBE ADDRESSING SOME ANXIETY AND WALKING THROUGH

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.000
 THE CONSUMER WHAT THAT MOVE IN

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.000
 DAY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.   

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.000
  AND THEN IT IS MOVE IN DAY.  THIS IS

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.000
 A WHOLE DAY.  THAT'S 8

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.000
 HOURS.  WE TRY TO SCHEDULE THE DISCHARGE AS EARLSY

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.000
 IN THE DAY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE HAVE THE WHOLE

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.000
 DAY TO WORK WITH THE CONSUMER TO GET THEM SET UP AND

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.000
 SITUATED IN THEIR NEW HOME.  ONCE

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.000
 THEY LEAVE THE FACILITY WE WILL TYPICALLY GO

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.000
 GROCERY SHOPPING BECAUSE OF COVID WE'RE HAVING TO DO A LOT OF

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.000
 THIS REMOTELY SO WE'LL USUALLY DO A INSTA

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.000
CART DELIVERY.  SO GETTING THEIR FRIDGE STOCK

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.000
ED WITH FOOD, SETTING UP ALL THEIR HOME ITEMS, WORK

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.000
ING WITH THE CONSUMER TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY WANT TO SET UP

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.000
 THEIR HOME.  WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR TOWELS? 

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.000
 WHERE DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SHEETS?  WHERE WOULD YOU

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.000
 LIKE TO POSITION YOUR COUCH AND GETTING THOSE

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.000
 ITEMS SET UP AND IN PLACE.    AND ALSO

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.000
 MEETING THE COMMUNITY.  DO THEY HAVE NEIGHBORS THEY WANT

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.000
 TO CONNECT WITH?  DO THEY WANT TO CONNECT

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.000
 WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.000
 MAYBE THEY HAVEN'T SEEN SINCE THEY WENT INTO

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.000
 THE FACILITY?  AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT PIECE OF IT MORE

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.000
 IN OUR FOLLOW UP PERIOD

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:57.000
.  FOLLOW UP IS OUR PROCESS OF MAKING SURE

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.000
 THAT THE TRANSITION IS NOT

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.000
 ONLY SUCCESSFUL ON MOVE IN DAYS BUT STOINS

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.000
 CONTINUES TO BE

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.000
 SUCCESSFUL FOR THE YEAR AFTER THE MOVE IN HAPPENS.  SO WE'LL DO OUR

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.000
 CHECK INS WEEKLY AT FIRST BUT THEN

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.000
 WE MOVE TO DOING MONTHLY CHECK INS AS

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.000
 THE CONSUMER GETS ESTABLISHED.  THE CONSUMER MAY EN

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.000
COUNTER NEEDS THAT THEY DIDN'T IDENTIFY WHILE

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.000
 THEY WERE STILL LIVING IN THE FACIL.  SO THINGS LIKE INDEPENDENT

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.000
 LIVING SKILLS TRAINING.  DO THEY KNOW HOW

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.000
 TO BUDGET, DO THEY KNOW HOW TO USE PARA

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.000
TRANSIT?  CAN THEY MANAGE THEIR TIME SO THAT THEY'RE

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000
 ABLE TO MAKE IT TO ALL THEIR DOCTOR'S APPOINT

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.000
MENTS?  THINGS LIKE THAT.    AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.000
 REALLY IMPORTANT AT THIS STAGE AS WELL.  YOU KNOW,

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.000
 WHEN SOMEONE IS LIVING IN A FACILITY

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.000
 THEY'RE IN A COMMUNITY WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE OR NOT AND WHEN THEY

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.000
 LEAVE THAT FACILITY THEY LOSE ACCESS TO

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.000
 THAT READY MADE COMMUNITY THAT THEY WERE

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.000
 USED TO HAVING ACCESS TO PREVIOUS

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.000
LY.  SO THEY HAVE TO

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.000
 BUILD A NEW SUPPORT NETWORK AND NEW COMMUNITY.  THINGS

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.000
 LIKE PEER GROUPS, SOCIAL GROUPS, SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.000
 CAN BE HELPFUL.  ALSO EM

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.000
PLOYMENT AND VOLUNTEERING.  NOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL OF

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.000
 THIS FREE TIME IN THE COMMUNITY, HOW WOULD YOU

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.000
 LIKE TO SPEND THAT?    AND AGAIN, THAT PROCESS

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.000
 TAKES UP TO ONE YEAR.    ONE THING THAT WE'RE DOING THROUGHOUT

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.000
 THIS PROCESS IS OUTREACH. 

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.000
 SO IN NONCOVID TIMES WE WOULD BE

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.000
 GOING OUT TO THE FACILITYS AND DOING

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000
 PRESENTATIONS BUT WE HAVE TO GET CREATIVE SINCE EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING RE

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.000
MOTELY RIGHT NOW.  WE GET A LOT OF CONSUMERS

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.000
 COMING IN THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH.  OUR CONSUMERS

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.000
 TELL OTHER PEOPLE IN THEIR FACILITY

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.000
 ABOUT DMC IS HELPING ME GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE. 

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.000
 THEY CAN HELP YOU TOO.    HAVING A GOOD

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.000
 RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOCIAL WORKER IS REALLY IMPORTANT SO

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.000
 THAT THE SOCIAL WORKING KNOWS WE'RE HERE TO HELP. 

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.000
 DMC IS AN ALLY.  IF YOU WITH WORK

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.000
ING WITH SOMEONE AT THE FACILITY THAT

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.000
 REALLY DOESN'T NEED TO BE THERE, HELP THEM CONNECT WITH

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:17.000
 US.  MAKING SURE WE'RE DOING OUTREACH

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.000
 CONSISTENTLY SO WE HAVE A

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.000
 STEADY STREAM OF REFERRALS COMING IN.    THAT IS A BIRD

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.000
'S EYE VIEW OF OUR TRANSITION PROCESS TO GIVE O

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.000
AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE TO START TO

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.000
 FINISH.  AT THIS POINT WE'LL DELVE A

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.000
 LITTLE DEEPER INTO SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE USE MOST

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.000
 FREQUENTLY TO MAKE SURE

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.000
 OUR TRANSITIONS ARE SUCCESSFUL.  FOR THAT I'LL PASS

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.000
 ON TO RICH TO SHARE ABOUT THOSE RESOURCES. 

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.000
   >>  THANK YOU MEG

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.000

ITION COORDINATOR.  OR A COMMUNITY

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000
 TRANSITION COORDINATOR.  FOR MY SESSION I'M GOING TO JUST

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.000
 DIVE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE RESOURCES

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.000
 THAT WE UTILIZE AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.000
 THE -- I WORK WITH AN AWESOME TEAM AND

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.000
 WE'RE A TIGHT

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
 KNIT GROUP AND UTILIZE EACH OTHER AS WELLS EXTERNAL

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.000
 COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND OF COURSE THE CHEECH

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.000
 CHIEF RESOURCE IS THE CONSUMER.    MY FIRST

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.000
 SLIDE TALKS ABOUT IT IS A BREAK

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.000
DOWN BY A FLOW CHART BASICALLY WITH THE

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.000
 TITLE OF TRANSITION RESOURCES

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.000
 I'LL BREAK DOWN THE FIRST ONE INTO INCOME,

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.000
 HOUSING INHOME CARE, AND OTHER LTSS

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.000
.    LET'S

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.000
  LET'S -- SOME OF THESE MAY BE FAMILIAR TO

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.000
 YOU.  SOME MAY NOT DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN IN

00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.000
 THE IL WORLD.  AND THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SHARE WITH ALL

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:04.000
 OF YOU IS THAT OF COURSE CALIFORNIA MAY

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.000
 HAVE SOME DIFFERENT RESOURCES THAN WHAT YOU ALL

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.000
 MIGHT HAVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.  AND

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.000
 SO ALL RIGHT.    LET'S GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.000
 THE INCOME SLIDE.    SO THE FIRST RE

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.000
SOURCE I LIST ON MY INTROSLIDE IS IN

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.000
COME WHICH IS THE SECOND SLIDE OF MY

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 PRESENTATION AND INCOME COULD INCLUDE THE

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.000
 BENEFITS, SSI, SSDI, EMPLOYMENT AND

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.000
 RETIREMENT.  SO I'M GONNA JUST SHARE A COUPLE

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.000
 THINGS ABOUT EACH ONE OF THOSE.   

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.000
  THESE ARE ESSENTIAL WHAT I WOULD CALL

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.000
 ESSENTIAL RESOURCES OR INGREDIENT

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.000
S OF TRANSITION.    THE FIRST

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.000
 -- ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THAT WE WORK

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.000
 WITH IS HOUSING BECAUSE

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.000
 IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO TRANSITION OUT OF A CARE FACILITY

00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.000
 OF COURSE, THEY NEED SOMEWHERE TO GO TO. 

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.000
 AND SO WE WORK WITH

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.000
 OUR COUNTY HOUSING

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.000
 AUTHORITY, AND CONSUMERS ON APPLY

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000
ING FOR NED VOUCHERS WHICH WE'RE GONNA GET

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:21.000
 INTO A LITTLE LATER.   

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.000
  OF COURSE IN ORDER TO HAVE HOUSING YOU NEED AN IN

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.000
COME OF SOME SORT.  SO

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.000
 THE FIRST ONE I HAVE LISTED IS SSI, SS SDSHGS I

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.000
DI.  I OPENED THIS PRESENTATION BY SAYING

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.000
 WE HAVE AN AWESOME TEAM AND WE

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.000
 WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR TIGHT KNIT

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.000
 GROUP AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.000
 POINT OUT HERE IS THAT WE DO HAVE AN AWESOME

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.000
 BENEFITS SPECIALIST, OLIV

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.000
IA, WHO CREATED EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.000
 TO HELP CONSUMERS LEARN ABOUT BENEFITS INCLUDING HOW TO

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.000
 APPLY AND THE RIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.000
 THAT.    SO THAT'S ONE

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.000
 OF THE -- AND THEN SHE WORKS WITH SS

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.000
 AID.  SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER BENEFIT

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.000
 RESOURCES AS WELL.    AND

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.000
 THEN FOR EMPLOYMENT OF COURSE,

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.000
 MANY EM

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.000
PLOYMENT DEPARTMENT OF REHABILATION,

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.000
 FOR SOME OF YOU IT IS DEPARTMENT OF VOCATION

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.000
AL REHABILITATION OR WHATEVER IT IS IN YOUR STATE.  VRN I

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.000
 KNOW THERE IS THE WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.000
 CENTERS ACROSS THE STATES THAT WE CAN WORK

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.000
 WITH AS WELL AND CONSUMERS CAN

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.000
 WORK WITH.    RETIREMENT.  THAT MAY SEEM

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.000
 TO BE KIND OF LIKE AN ABSTRACT THOUGHT, BUT I PUT THAT

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000
 UP THERE BECAUSE WE DID HAVE A

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.000
 SITUATION OR A COUPLE SITUATIONS WHERE CONSUMERS DID HAVE

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.000
 SOME OTHER INCOME BENEFITS THAT PERHAPS THEY

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.000
 DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT UNTIL

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.000
 WE GOT INVOLVED AND STARTING ASKING THEM QUESTIONS. 

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.000
   SO WHERE THEY FOUND WELL, YEAH

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.000
, I HAVE A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT AND HAVING DIVED IN

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.000
TO THAT.  SO

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.000
 LET'S SEE IF I MISSED ANYTHING.    ALL RIGHT.  SO THAT LEADS

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.000
 US INTO THE IN HOME CARE

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.000
 SLIDE.  AND AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE I JUST

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.000
 WANT TO SHARE THAT THE RESOURCE

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:33.000
S THAT I'M GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.000
 IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.000
 I'LL TRY TO BE AS GENERAL AS I CAN AND I KNOW ACROSS THE

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.000
 COUNTRY I KNOW THAT DIFFERENT RESOURCES ARE LIST

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.000
ED AS OR NAMED AS DIFFERENT SERVICES

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:51.000
.    BUT IN HOME SERVICES

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.000
 IHSS HERE WILL PAY FOR SERVICES

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.000
 PROVIDED TO YOU SO YOU CAN REMAIN SAFELY IN

00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.000
 YOUR HOME, IN YOUR OWN HOME AND THERE

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:05.000
 IS SOME ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.000
 THE TYPES OF SERVICES THAT CAN BE

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.000
 APPLIED FOR THROUGH THE IHSS INCLUDE THINGS

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.000
 LIKE HOUSE CLEANING, MEAL PREPARATION, LAUNDRY

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.000
, SOME OF THOSE PERSONAL CARE SERVICES. 

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.000
 SOME OF THOSE SERVICES THAT WELL,

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.000
 ARE ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND ARE NEEDED

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.000
 IN YOUR OWN HOME.    AGAIN,

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.000
 IN CALIFORNIA, WE HAVE OUR OWN

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.000
 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND YOU WOULD NEED TO SEARCH YOUR

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.000
 AREA FOR WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA AND HOW

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.000
 TO APPLY AND THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA THERE

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.000
.    THE

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.000
 HCBA WAIVER, THIS IS A RE

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.000
SOURCE THAT IN OTHER AREA

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.000
S MAYBE TITLED SOMETHING ELSE.  BUT HERE

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.000
 IN CALIFORNIA IT'S THE HOME

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.000
 AND COMMUNITY BASED

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.000
 -- I ALWAYS FORGET WHAT THE A

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.000
 IS BUT WE'LL GET INTO THAT A SECOND.  I'LL CALL

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.000
 ON MY COLLEAGUES.    BUT IT IS BASICALLY THE

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:17.000
 STATE MEDICAID PROGRAMS AND

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.000
 IT'S DESIGNED TO ALLOW INDIVIDUALS TO REMAIN LIVING

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.000
 IN THEIR HOME OR RETURN TO LIVING IN THEIR HOME

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.000
S AFTER AN EXTENDED STAY IN NURSING

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.000
 FACILITIES.    AND HERE IN CALIFORNIA IT IS FORM

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.000
ERLY REFERRED TO AS THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY TRANSITION

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.000
S PROJECT.  ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WANT

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.000
ED TO SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.000
 BE CALIFORNIA BASED OR YOU KNOW, THAT'S

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.000
 WHAT IT IS KNOWN TO US, I SHARE THAT WITH YOU

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.000
 IN CASE YOU'RE LIKE ME AND YOU LOOK FOR KEY

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.000
WORDS TO GO AND FIND NEW RESOURCES IN

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.000
 YOUR AREA.  SO THAT'S WHY I'M KIND OF GOING

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.000
 A LITTLE BIT BEYOND SOMETIMES WITH JUST

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.000
 HIGHLIGHTING.   

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.000
  AND IT SOMETIMES

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:08.000
 CAN PROVIDE MORE HOURS OF INHOME SERVICE

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.000
S THAN IHSS SUCH AS POSSIBLY

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.000
 24 HOUR IN HOME CARE.   

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.000
  AND THEN THERE IS THE MEDICARE AD

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.000
VANTAGE PLANS AND THERE IS LOT OF THEM OUT

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.000
 THERE.  IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE INSURANCE WORLD

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.000
 YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS LOT OF DIFFERENT

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.000
 PLANS OUT THERE AND MEDICAID AD

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.000
VANTAGE PLANS ARE NOT EXCLUDED FROM

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.000
 THAT.  SO AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.000
 NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH IN YOUR

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.000
 AREA ON YOU KNOW,

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.000
 WHAT THOSE MIGHT INCLUDE, WHAT'S THE COVERAGE

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.000
 FOR THE DIFFERENT PLANS IN DIFFERENT AREAS

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.000
, AND RESEARCH THOSE

00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.000
 RESOURCES FOR YOUR CONSUMERS.    AND THEN OF COURSE,

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.000
 WE HAVE THE PRIVATES PAY

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.000
 PROVIDERS.  AND THEN THE NEXT

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.000
 SLIDE THAT I HAVE IS OTHER

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.000
 LTSS, LONG TERM SUPPORT SERVICES.

 MEGAN TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW

 IMPORTANT THAT IS AND WE REALLY

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.000
 EMPHASIZE THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.000
 TRANSITION PROCESS.  IT'S SUCH A KEY

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.000
 FOR THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS AND

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.000
 AS WELL AS GOOD

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:38.000
 MENTAL HEALTH CARE IS ALSO IMPORTANT

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.000
 FOR PREVENT

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.000
ING THE RETURN INTO THE INSTITUTION.    SO WE DO

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:50.000
 TALK ABOUT

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.000
 COUNSELOR OPTIONS, THERAPISTS OPTIONS,

 TELEHEALTH OPTIONS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.000
 PSYCHIATRISTS AND THE

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.000
 IMPORTANCE OF

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.000
 MEDS IN SOME OF THE INSTANCE

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.000
S OF TREATMENT.    AND

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.000
 THEN SOME OF THESE OTHER ONES

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:16.000
 ARE AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT MORE IF YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND THE I

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.000

 IN DEPTH, VERY HANDS ON

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.000
 PROCESS WITH OUR CONSUMERS THAT WE AC

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.000
TUALLY WALK THROUGH.  IT'S NOT LIKE A

00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.000
 REFERRAL THAT WE'RE REFERRING

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.000

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.000
 WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION FOR A YEAR AFTER THEIR

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:04.000
 TRANSITION TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEM.    SO ACCESSIBILITY. 

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.000
 WE LOOK AT WHAT WITH

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.000
 THE CONSUMER WHAT HAVE SOME OF THE MAYBE --

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.000
 THERE IS HOUSING MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE NEEDED

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.000

 SUBMIT BIDS AND CAN GO OUT AND DO THE

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.000
 WORK.    ANOTHER ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE THAT WE

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.000
 LOOK AT IS THE NEED FOR DURABLE MEDICAL EKIP

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:46.000
QUIPMENT.  AN EXAMPLE IS A TRANSFER

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.000
 BENCH AND SOMETIMES

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.000

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.000
 AS THEY TAKE THOSE DEAF STEP Z

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.000
 DIFFERENT STEPS

 COMMON CHALLENGES.  THERE

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:52.000
 IS A LAWN MOWER OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.  SORRY ABOUT

COUNTERED OVER THE YEAR STARTING OUR PROGRAM.  SO THE FIRST ONE IS

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.000
 FAMILY MEMBER DISAGREEMENTS AND SUPPORTS.  NOW

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.000
 FAMILY MEMBERS CAN AGREE AND THEY CAN DISAGREE WITH

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.000
 THE DECISION OF THE CONSUMER.  IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.000
 SUPPORTIVE OR NOT.  WE WORK WITH THE CON

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.000
SUMER AND ON THEIR SELF DETERMINATION AND THEIR OWN

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.000
 ADVOCACY FOR LEAVING THE FACILITY.  WE PREFER

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:21.000
 OBVIOUSLY, TO WORK WITH THE SUPPORTIVE FAMILIES BECAUSE

00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:25.000
 THEY CAN BECOME CARE GIVERS AND CAN PROVIDE OVERALL SUPPORT

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.000
 TO THE CONSUMERS DURING THIS TRANSITION PROCESS

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.000
 AND EVEN AFTER.    SOME FAMILY MEMBER

00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.000
S WHO MAY HAVE POWER OF ATTORNEY OVER THE

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000
 CONSUMER THEY MAY ASSUME THEY HAVE

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.000
 CONTROL OVER THEIR RIGHT TO TRANSITION, THAT

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.000
 IS NOT TRUE.  THE CONSUMER IS STILL IN CONTROL OF

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:46.000
 THEIR OWN SELF DETERMINATION AND THEIR TRANSITION PROCESS. 

00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:51.000
   NEXT ONE PLEASE.   

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.000
 OH.   

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.000
  EMPOWERING DECISION MAKING AND SELF

00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:00.000
 ADVOCACY.  AS THE CTC WE LIKE TO

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.000
 EMPOWER THE CONSUMER TO HAVE A VOICE

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.000
 IN THEIR OWN DIVISION MAKING.  WE LIKE TO ENABLE TO THEM

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:10.000
 TO SELF ADVOCATE FOR WHAT THEY NEED AND WANT

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.000
.  THIS INCLUDES THEM MAKING THE CHOICES IN THEIR OWN

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.000
 DECISIONS INCLUDING HOME BUYING

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.000
 SUCH AS CHOOSING THEIR OWN COLORS THEY WANT FOR THEIR HOME, STYLE

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:23.000
S, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.  YOU HAVE

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.000
 TO REMEMBER THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:30.000
S SINCE LEAVING THE FACILITY.  SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.000
 THERE FOR YEARS AND WANT IT TO LEAVE IT TO

00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:36.000
 YOU TO MAKE THE DECISIONS FOR THEM

00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.000
.  I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THEM NO, THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME DOING

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.000
 THIS.  YOU CHOOSE WHAT COLOR CROW WANT FOR YOUR BATH

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.000
ROOM.  CHOOSE THE SOFA AND DISHES

00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:49.000
 YOU WANT.  THAT EMPOWERS THEM LIKE WOW I

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:52.000
 HAVEN'T HAD TO DO THIS IN CAREERS.  SO IT IS VERY MUCH FUN THIS PART

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.000
 OF THE PROCESS AS THEY GET TO MAKE

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.000
 ALL THESE POWERFUL DECISIONS

00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.000
 WHEREAS, IN THE FACILITY THEY'RE TOLD WHEN TO

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.000
 GET UP, TOLD WHEN TO GO TO BED, WHEN TO EAT AND THING

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:08.000
S OF THAT NATURE.  SO THIS IS LIKE THEIR FIRST

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:11.000
 TIME WHEN THEY CAN BE LIKE I CAN DO THIS FOR MYSELF

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:15.000
 AND MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS.    NEXT

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:18.000
 SLIDE.  ADDRESSING SOME CON

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:21.000
SUMER ANXIETY AND TRUST

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.000
 FRUSTRATIONS WHICH IS A

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.000
 BIG ONE FOR US FOR THE MOST PART.  WE ALLOW THE CON

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:32.000
SUMER A SAFE SPACE TO FEEL THESE EMOTIONS

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:35.000
 AND HELP THEM PROCESS THEM. 

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.000
 FOR SOME RESUMING DAY TO DAY ACTION

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.000
 WILL OVERWHELM THEM AND THEY WILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.000
 IT.  SOMETIMES THEYCOLOGY AND SAY I'M SO FRUSTRATED OF

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:48.000
 HAVING TO MOVE OUT AND WE GO GOW THE STEPS OF

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.000
 WHAT IS CAUSING THEM ANXIETY.  DO WE NEED TO SLOW IT DOWN

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.000
 MAYBE?  DO WE NEED TO JUST

00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.000
 TAKE A PAUSE AND LET THEM CATCH UP TO THEIR EMOTION

00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:01.000
S?  SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE PATIENCE WITH THEM AND GUIDE THEM

00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.000
 THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THIS IN ITSELF

00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:07.000
 IS A RELIEF TO THE CONSUMER.   

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:11.000
  AND SLOWING DOWN THE PROCESS OF A

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:14.000
 TRANSITION WE MAY HAVE OUR TIMELINE.  WE HAVE

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.000
 TO HAVE THIS

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:21.000
 DONE IN TOWEEKS OR 3 WEEK

00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.000
S BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO STOP AND SEE WHAT THE CON

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.000
SUMER IS FEELING AND SLOW IT DOWN ACCORD

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
ING TO THEIR NEEDS.  THEY MAY HAVE MANY QUESTIONS AND YOU HAVE TO ALLOW

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:33.000
 THEM TO BE IN CONTROL OF THEIR TRA

00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:36.000
TRANSITION AND IT WILL HELP TO DE

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.000
CREASE THEIR ANXIETY.  SUGGESTIONS OF HAVING THEM

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.000
 TALK WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL IS ALWAYS GRANTED

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.000
 IF THE PROCESS IS TOO OVERWHELMING FOR

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.000
 THEM, THIS HELPS THEM PROCESS THEIR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS WHERE

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.000
 OFTEN THEY WILL USE US AS THEIR SOUNDING BOARD. 

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:55.000
 THEY WILL USE US AS THEIR WAY TO TALK OUT THEIR ISSUES

00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:00.000
 AND THAT IS PERFECTLY OKAY. 

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:03.000
 THE NEXT CHALLENGE THAT WE

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:06.000
 FACE IS THE

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000
 POST TRANSITION ISOLATION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:13.000
.    WE HELP THEM ASSIST WITH RECONNECT

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.000
ING WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS THAT THEY USED TO

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.000
 HAVE OR THEY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.000
 TO OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY.  ESPECIALLY DURING COVID A

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.000
 LOT OF FAMILIES WERE SEPARATED AND DIDN'T

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:28.000
 HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET OR COME

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.000
 IN AND SPEAK WITH EACH OTHER. 

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.000
 WHEN DID MY CAMERA TURN

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.000
 ON?    ALSO TO GET THEM INVOLVED

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.000
 WITH MEETING NEW PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY SUCH AS

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.000
 GOING TO SENIOR CENTERS OR

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.000
 WELLNESS CENTERS, GETTING THEM INVOLVED

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.000
 IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.000
.  FINDING OUT THINGS THEY ENJOY DOING AND ASSISTING

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.000
 WITH LOCATING INDIVIDUALS OF LIKE MINDS AND INTERESTS. 

00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:01.000
   A LOT OF TIMES WE CAN

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.000
 GET THEM INVOLVED IN DOING THINGS SUCH AS FOR SOME OF

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.000
 OUR WOMEN THEY LIKE TO GO BACK IT DOING CRAFTS AND

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:11.000
 LIKE DOING BLANKETS AND THINKS OF THAT

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.000
 NATURE AND SO I FIND THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY THEY

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.000
 CAN GO DO THAT WITH.   

00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.000
  THIS ALSO HELPS THEM TO BRIDGE THE GAP

00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:25.000
 BETWEEN THE FACILITY LIFE VERSUS THEIR

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.000
 IND

00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.000
EPENDENCE WITH SUPPORT.    NEXT SLIDE.    SO

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.000
 DURING THEIR COURSE OF THE YEAR WE HAVE

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.000
 IDENTIFIED MANY CHALLENGES THAT

00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:42.000
 TO TRY TO AVOID

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.000
 FOR FUTURE USE.  AND THE FIRST IS LACK

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:48.000
 OF INCOME, CREDIT ISSUES AND PERSONAL DEBT

00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:52.000
.    NOW WE CAN ASSIST THE CONSUMER

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.000
 WITH APPLYING FOR THE SSI OR SSDI

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.000
.  SOME FACILITIES CANNOT WORK ANY

00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.000
MORE.  HOWEVER SOME CAN FOIN CONTINUE TO WORK

00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.000
.  THE DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION IS A

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.000
 KEY RESOURCE IN THIS

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.000
 AREA.  EVERY PERSON CAN LIVE INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE

00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:14.000
 RIGHT SUPPORTS AND EVERYONE CAN WORK WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORTS TOO. 

00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:18.000
 HELPING DISCUSS CREDISH ISSUES AS IT PERTAINS TO

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:21.000
 HOUSING AND WORKING ON WAYS TO DO CREDIT REPAIR.  HELPING

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.000
 ADDRESS PERSONAL DEBT ISSUES AND HOW

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.000
 TO PAY DOWN DEBT THAT IS LESS OF FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CON

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.000
SUMER.    SOME OF OUR CONSUMERS HAVE PAST EVICTION

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.000
S SO WITH SOME CONSUMERS

00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:38.000
 THAT WILL HAVE THEM ON THEIR RECORDS IT IS DIFFICULT TO

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:41.000
 ACQUIRE AN APARTMENT WITH ONE, HOWEVER, AS THE CTC YOU

00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:45.000
 MAY ABLE TO ASSIST BY REACHING OUT TO THE LAND

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:48.000
LORD TO SEEING IF PAY

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.000
ING A HIGHER DEPOSIT MIGHT BE ADD

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:54.000
ED TO INCREASE CHANCE OF RENTING.  THIS MAY BE

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:57.000
 A SECOND CHANCE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS NO CHOICE

00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:01.000
 TO RECEIVE A EVICTION DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES. 

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.000
 SUCH AS LOSS OF JOB, BECOMING DISABLED OR

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.000
 HOSPITALIZATIONS.    ANOTHER ONE IS PAST DRUG OFFENSE

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.000
S OR HAVING A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND.  REMEMBER TO CHECK WITH

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:13.000
 YOUR CONSUMER AND ASK IF THERE ARE PRIOR DRUG OFFENSE

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.000
S OR ANY OTHER CRIMINAL BACKGROUND BECAUSE IF THEY'RE APPLYING

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:20.000
 FOR HOUSING THIS COULD BE AN OBSTACLE FOR THEM. 

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.000
 THE HOUSING AUTHORITY DO VERY THOROUGH BACK

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:26.000
GROUND CHECKS ON THE APPLICANTS.  THE HOUSING AUTHORITY

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:29.000
 WILL ASK FOR A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE CONSUMER

00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:34.000
 ABOUT THE BACKGROUND AND THEY WILL MAKE THE DECISION REGARDING STAT

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.000
 STATUS AT THAT TIME. 

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.000
   ANOTHER ONE IS IMMIGRATION STATUS.  CT

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.000
C AND HOUSING AUTHORITIES DOES HAVE TO CHECK IF YOUR

00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:47.000
 IMMIGRATION STATUS IS US CITIZEN.  THERE

00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:50.000
 IS NO WAY AROUND THIS BASED ON THE HOUSING RULES.   

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.000
  ANY UNMET MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION NEEDS

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:57.000
.  IF THE CONSUMERS DISCLOSES THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE CARE

00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:00.000
 OF A PSYCHIATRIST OR THERAPIST IT IS

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.000
 VITAL TO MAINTAIN THAT RELATIONSHIP AND TO SEE THAT

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:06.000
 THEY HAVE THEIR MEDICATION DURING THE STRESSFUL

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:09.000
 TIME.  AND THAT THEY ARE CONNECTED AT THE

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:13.000
 TRANSITION TO THEIR MENTAL

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.000
 HEALTH PROVIDER TO MAINTAIN A SMOOTH AND

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:19.000
 SAFE TRANSITION.  THIS IS THE SAME FOR ANY

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.000
 ADDICTIONS THE CONSUMER MAY HAVE.  THEY MUST SHOW THEY HAVE A

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:26.000
 HISTORY OF BEING CLEAN AND CAN MAINTAIN THAT. 

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.000
 THAT INFORMATION IS GIVEN BY TALKS WITH MEDICAL STAFF, COUNSELOR

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.000
S AND/OR THERAPISTS FROM THEIR BACKGROUND.    ANOTHER

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.000
 CHALLENGE THAT WE COME ACROSS IS CARE

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:39.000
 GIVER MISTREATMENT.  AS WE ALL KNOW FINDING

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.000
 A CARE GIVER FOR YOUR LOVED ONE IS A VERY DAUNTING

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.000
 TASK AND ONCE THEY GET ONE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:48.000
 THAT THEY DON'T MISTREATMENT THEIR CARE

00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.000
 GIVER.  SO TEACHING INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS TO IT CON

00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:55.000
SUMER WHO MAY NOT KNOW THAT AS AN EMPLOYER HE OR SHE

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.000
 NEEDS TO TREAT THE CARE GIVER WITH DIG THETY AND RE

00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:02.000
SPECT.  WE NEED TO ENSURE WE PAIR AN

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.000
 APPROPRIATE CARE GIVER TO THE CONSUMER AND HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.000
 IN PLACE WHEN BEHAVIOR ARISES

00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:12.000
 FROM THE CONSUMER TOWARDS THE CARE GIVER AND WE NEED THOOCON

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:15.000
SUMER TO BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE CARE GIVER ENSURE

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:18.000
 THAT ALL SUPPORTS AND ALL SERVICES ARE BEING

00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.000
 DONE SINCE THEY ARE IN THE HOME OFTEN TOGETHER. 

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:26.000
   AND WE HAVE LASTLY IDENTIFIED AS

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:30.000
 OF LATE THAT EARLY DISCHARGING FROM THE FACILITY IS

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:33.000
 A BIG NO-NO.   

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:37.000
  TO RECEIVE THE HOUSING OR THE NED VOUCHER THE CON

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.000
SUMER CANNOT DISCHARGE EARLY FROM THE FACILITY. 

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.000
 THEY MUST REMAIN IN THE FACILITY UNTIL THEY HAVE

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.000
 RECEIVED THEIR HOUSING AND THEN MAY

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.000
 DISCHARGE ONCE THEY HAVE FOUND AN APARTMENT TO MOVE TO. 

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.000
 NOT HAVING THE APPROPRIATE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS IN PLACE CAN

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.000
 BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE CON

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:58.000
SUMER.  THAT IS WHY WE

00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:02.000
 DON'T WANT THEM TO DISCHARGE EARLY.  EARLY DISCHARGES CAN LEAD

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:05.000
 TO REINSTITUTIONIZATION OF THE CONSUMER

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.000
.  IF HOUSING, HOME MODIFICATION

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:12.000
S, IHSS, PT, O

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:16.000
T, WHICH IS PHYSICAL THERAPY,

00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.000
 OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY; NURSE PRK TITIANERS AND

00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.000
 FAMILY FRIENDS AND SUPPORT IS NOT PUT INTO PLACE BEFORE FAMILY TRANSITION

00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:26.000
S.  THANK YOU. 

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:29.000
   >>  THIS IS MEGAN.  THANKS, QUITA. 

00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.000
 I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THE MOST EXCITING PIECE OF THIS

00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:36.000
 WHICH IS FUNDING.  I'M SURE THAT

00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:39.000
 ONE THOUGHT ON A LOT OF FOLK'S MIND IS WELL

00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:42.000
 ALL OF THIS SOUNDS GREAT BUT HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT?  SO

00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.000
 I'M GONNA SPEND A LITTLE TIME TALKING ABOUT THE PATCH

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.000
WORK FUNDING SOURCES WE USE TO MAKE TRANSITIONS

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.000
 HAPPEN.    AND WE'VE HAD TO KIND OF KNIT A NUMBER

00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.000
 OF THESE RESOURCES TOGETHER OVER THE PAST YEAR

00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.000
 BECAUSE AS ALL OF US IN THE NONPROFIT WORLD KNOW FUNDING

00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.000
 SOURCES FLUCTUATE AND COME AND GO AND HAVE TO BE RE

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:05.000
SPONSIVE TO WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE TO YOU AT THAT TIME.    SO WE HAVE

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.000
 A COUPLE OTHESE.  ONE IS CARE

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:11.000
S ACT FUNDING.  THIS IS FUNDING WE USED FOR THE FIRST PART

00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:15.000
 OF THIS PAST YEAR WHEN WERE GETTING STARTED.  CARE

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:18.000
S ACT FUNDING WAS TEMPORARY

00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:22.000
 FUNDING FROM A

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.000
 COVID RELIEF

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.000
 BILL THAT PASSED LAST SUMMER.  NO STRINGS ATTACHED FUNDING IS

00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:32.000
 THE BEST KIND OF FUNDING.  THE DOWN SIDES OF

00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.000
 CARES ACT FUNDS IS THAT

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.000
 THEY WERE TEMPORARY AND WE JUST RAN OUT OF THOSE CARES

00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:41.000
 ACT FUND I THINK LAST MONTH SO WE HAD TO WORK TO GET OTHER

00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:44.000
 FUNDING SOURCES IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT

00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:47.000
 OUR TRANSITIONS IN PROGRESS ARE NOT DISRUPTED.  HOWEVER

00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.000
, IF ANY OF YOUR

00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:53.000
 CENTERS DO STILL HAVE CARES ACT AVAILABLE PLEASE CONSIDER

00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:56.000
 USING THOSE FOR TRANSITIONS.   

00:46:56.000 --> 00:47:00.000
  MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON.  SO THIS IS PROBABLY

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:03.000
 THE KEY FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCE FOR

00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:06.000
 TRANSITIONS AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A

00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.000
 -- THIS ONE IS COMPLICATED BUT MANY FOLLOW

00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:12.000
S THE PERSON IS AN INITIATIVE

00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:16.000
 THROUGH MEDICAID TO PROVIDE HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICE

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.000
S AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO

00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.000
 INSTITUTIONAL PLACEMENT.  WE REALIZED AT THAT TIME OF

00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.000
 THEOME STEAD

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.000
 SUPREME COURT DECISION IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO PAY FOR

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.000
 COMMUNITY LIVING THAN PAY FOR INSTITUTIONAL LIVING AND MONEY FOLLOW

00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:34.000
S THE PERSON CAME OUT OF THAT.    BUT THIS IS AN

00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.000
 INTISHATIVE THAT HAS BEEN VERY HARD TO IMPLEMENT.  ONE OF

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.000
 THE DOWN SIDES IS THAT IT IS VERY COMPLEX. 

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.000
 IT REQUIRES ASSESSMENT BY A

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.000
 NURSE THAT WE HAVE TO CONTRACT OUT FOR AND IT

00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:50.000
 REQUIRES MEDICAID TO ESSENTIALLY

00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.000
 APPROVE OUR FULL TRANSITION PLAN.  AND IT IS ALSO FOR

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.000
 MEDICAID RECIPIENTS ONLY SO IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE

00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.000
 FOR EXAMPLE THAT HAS MEDICARE BUT NOT MEDICAID, THEY

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.000
 WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE

00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.000
 MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON DOLLARS.    ONE OF THE RESOURCES

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:10.000
 THAT I PROVIDED IN ONE OF MY LATER SLIDES

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:13.000
 IS A GRANTEE LIST FOR MONEY FOLLOWATHIZE

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.000
 FOLLOWS THE PERSON.  THAT

00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.000
 IS A LIST OF EVERY MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON CON

00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.000
TACT IN EVERY STATE.  IT IS

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:26.000
 A LIST OF EMAILS.  YOU CAN FIND THE ONE FOR

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:29.000
 YOUR STATE AND SHOOT THE PERSON AN EMAIL AND SAY YOU'RE INTERESTED IN

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.000
 GETTING CONTRACTED IF MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON.  AT LEAST IN

00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:36.000
 CALIFORNIA OUR STATE LEVEL MEDICAID

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000
 ADMINISTRATORS ARE LOOKING TO MAKE THIS FUNDING SOURCE MORE

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.000
 VIABLE AND EASY TO USE.  WE WANT THIS TO BE

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:46.000
 A FUNDING SOURCE THAT IS SUSTAINABLE AND CONTINUE

00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.000
S ON IN THE FUTURE ILC'S NEED TO

00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.000
 JUMP ON BOARD.  WE NEED TO BE A PART OFMERICING THIS

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.000
 MAKING THIS FUNDER WORK AND LETTING

00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:00.000
 KNOW MEDICAID KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO SUCCESSFULLY BE ABLE TO

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:03.000
 ADMINISTER THESE DOLLARS.    NEXT IS DEPARTMENT OF

00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:06.000
 REHABILATION DIVERSION FUND.  THIS IS A FUND

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.000
ING SOURCE WE TAPPED INTO RECENTLY AND CAN BE

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:12.000
 USED FOR BOTH TRANSITIONS AND DIVERSIONS. 

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:16.000
 DIVERSIONS INTEEG SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN THE COMMUNITY

00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:19.000
 BUT IS AT RISK OF GOING INTO INSTITUTION AND LOSING

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.000
 INDEPENDENTANCE.  IT IS FAIRLY FLEXIBLE FUNDING SOURCE. 

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:26.000
 IT DOES PAY FOR ALL TRANSITION RELATED EX

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:29.000
PENSES UP TO 4500 DOLLARS PER

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.000
 CONSUMER.  THAT IS ONE TIME APPROVED COST. 

00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.000
 IF SOMEBODY NEEDS ADDITIONAL SERVICES THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:40.000
 USE THIS FUND IF THEY ALREADY

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.000
 HAD A REQUEST APPROVED BY DOR. 

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.000
 SOME THING S TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FUNDING SOURCE, IT IS OFFERED

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.000
 ON REIMBURSEMENT BASIS AFTER 60 DAYS AND YOUR

00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.000
 CENTER DOES NEED TO BE ABLE TO FLOAT THAT COST.  WE HAVE A LINE OF

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:56.000
 CREDIT WE USE FOR THIS PURPOSE.  WE ALSO HAVE

00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:59.000
 A GENERAL FUNDING POOL WE

00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.000
 PUT OUR FUND RAISING DOLLARS INTO

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:05.000
 THAT.  THAT IS MORE OF THAT NO STRINGS ATTACHED MONEY

00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:08.000
 WE LIKE SO MUCH.  SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS

00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:12.000
 UP FRONT IN ORDER TO GET REIMBURSED BY D

00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.000
OR60 DAYS AFTER THE FACT.  ONE OTHER

00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.000
 UNIQUE FOR THIS IS IT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE

00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:22.000
.  SO IT IS NOT JUST US.  IT IS

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:25.000
 CENTERS ALL OVER THE STATE AND DO

00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:28.000
R COULD BLAST OUT AN EMAIL AT ANY POINT SAYING OUR

00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.000
 FUNDING HAS DRIED UP.  WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO

00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:35.000
 APPROVE REQUESTERS FOR THIS FUNDING SOURCE AND THEN WE

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.000
 HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS AND RELY ON OTHER FUNDING

00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:42.000
 SOURCES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS.   

00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.000
  THE LAST BIG ONE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS CALLED DIGNITY AT

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.000
 HOME.  THIS IS A LOCAL GRANT THAT WE

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:51.000
 ARE RECEIVING IN PARTNERSHIP

00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:55.000
 WITH OUR AREA AGENCY ON

00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:58.000
 AGING.  OUR TRIPLE A'S.  THEY'RE KIND

00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:01.000
 OF LIKE ILC'S BUT THE FOCUS ON OLDER ADULT

00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.000
S.  ALL ACROSS THE NATION AND EACH STATE.  EVEN THOUGH THIS

00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.000
 IS A LOCAL GRANT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE

00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:11.000
 HAVING A PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR TRIPLE A

00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:14.000
 IN CALIFORNIA WE CALL THIS THE AGING

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.000
 AND DISABILITY RESOURCE CONNECTION.  THAT IS THE FORMAL NAME

00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:20.000
 OF THAT PARTNERSHIP BUT HAVING A PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR TRIPLE

00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.000
 A HAS BEEN SO SO VALUABLE TO US AND

00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.000
 IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE TRIPLE A

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.000
 FEELS CONFIDENT COMING TO US AND SAY

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:33.000
ING YOU DO HOME MODIFICATIONS ALL DAY EVERY DAY, HOW WOULD CROW LIKE

00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:37.000
 TO ADMINISTER THIS GRANT FOR US THAT FOCUSES ON

00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:40.000
 HOME MODIFICATIONS.  SO IF YOU HAVE NOT YET CONNECTED WITH YOUR LOC

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.000
AL TRIPLE A, HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THAT

00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.000
.  THOSE PARTNERSHIPS CAN BE VERY FRUITFUL. 

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.000
   AND I MENTIONED EARLIER FUND RAISING,

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.000
 FEE FOR SERVICE PROGRAMS AND LINES OF CREDIT CAN BE USE

00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.000
FUL.  JUST BECAUSE WITH A LOT OF THESE FUNDING

00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:58.000
 SOURCES THE ILC DOES END UP HAVING TO FLOAT SOME COST

00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:02.000
S.  SO WANTED TO JUST KIND OF EMPHASIS

00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:06.000
PHASIZE THAT.  THIS IS OUR LAST SLIDE

00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.000
.  THIS IS OUR TAKE AWAY SLIDE.    IT INCLUDES

00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:12.000
 AN IMAGE OF A DMC TRANSITION

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:15.000
 CONSUMER WHO USES A WHEELCHAIR

00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:18.000
 POSING IN FRONT OF HIS NEW APARTMENT AND HE IS SMILING

00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:22.000
 AND HOLDING HIS FRONT DOOR KEY.    SO JUST

00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.000
 WANT TO BRING US HOME BY SAYING THAT TRANS

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.000
ITIONS MY STAFF HEARS ME SAY THIS ALL THE TIME.  TRANSITION

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:32.000
S ARE ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:36.000
 BUT REWARDING CORE SERVICES THAT INDANT LIVING SUFSHGS

00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.000
 SERVICE CENTER OFFER.  WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:43.000
 HELPING SOMEONE TAKE BACK THE FREEDOM THAT BELONGS TO THEM.  I CAN'T

00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.000
 THINK OF ANYTHING MORE VALUABLE THAT WE CAN OFFER

00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:49.000
 TO A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY.    I KNOW IT IS

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.000
 HARD WORK.  QUITA AND RICH

00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:56.000
 BLESS YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO.  I KNOW IT IS NOT

00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.000
 EASY BUT WE'VE SEEN PEOPLE

00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.000
 -- THESE SERVICES BE LIFE CHANGING AND WE HOPE

00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:05.000
 WE CAN ACT AS RESOURCES TO ALL OF YOU DOING THIS

00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:08.000
 IMPORTANT WORK.    I DID HAVE A LIST OF OUR RESOURCES. 

00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.000
 THESE ARE AVAILABLE ON THE APRIL WEBSITE

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:15.000

 TEMPLATES, PLEASE ALSO USE US AS RESOURCE

00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:24.000
S.  OUR INFORMATION IN A

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:27.000
 PREVIOUS SLIDE.  YOU CAN SHOOT ANY OF US AN E

00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.000
MAIL AND WE WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS AND DO WHAT WE CAN DO TO

.    AND I BELIEVE

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.000
 THAT'S IT FOR US.  I'M GONNA GO A

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.000
HEAD AND STOP SHARING MY SCREEN AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF

00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:46.000
 TIME FOR QUESTIONS.    KIM,

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.000
 I BELIEVE YOU WERE GONNA HELP KIND OF MODERATE THOSE

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:52.000
.    >>  RIGHT.  SO THE FIRST ONE WE HAVE IS COME

00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.000
S FROM JOAN AND IT SAYS IN OUR STATE ONE OF THE

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:58.000
 BARRIERS IS LACK OF PERSONAL CARE

00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:02.000
 ATTENDANTS FOR IN HOME DUE THE PANDEMIC DO YOU

00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:05.000
 HAVE THAT BARRIER IN YOUR STATE?    >>  QUITA,

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:08.000
 DO WE HAVE THAT BARRIER IN OUR STATE?    >> 

00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.000
 ALL DAY EVERY DAY.  YES, WE HAVE THAT. 

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:14.000
 THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN CONCERNS IS WHEN THEY TRANSITION OUT

00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:17.000
.  WE TRY TO PROVIDE THEM WITH IH

00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:21.000
SS ASSISTANCE AND RIGHT NOW PROVIDING CARE GIVER IS A

00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:24.000
 DILEMMA BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ENOUGH CARE GIVER

 CALIFORNIA WE WITH WORK WITH SOMEONE UNDER A GUARDIANSHIP.  NOT A

00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:34.000
