Generally speaking, individuals with disabilities and elders do not want to remain in nursing homes. An important part of CalAIM’s ap proach is to transition individuals from nursing and rehabilitation facilities back to the community with appropriate services and supports.
As the health care system evolves, identifying and implementing strategies to help support individuals with disabilities and elders in the community is critically important. CalAIM helps this happen by both offering Enhanced Care Management to fully assess, plan for, and coordinate transitions back to the community.
Community Supports further offers the “Housing Trio” for individuals who are unhoused or, are at risk of losing their housing — combined with a variety of additional social support services that can help maintain individuals in the community. For example, medically tailored meals support individuals with food insufficiency and chronic disease while home adaptations help individuals with disabilities remain in safe spaces. CalAIM makes more programs available that promote resilience, self-care and independence through additional investments in Enhanced Care Management and Community Support Services.
We know that many – if not most – consumers prefer to remain at home. Let’s help make it happen.
