-- To: Interested providers approved by the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services From: Nicole Norvell, director Re: Applications for extensive medical needs innovations Date: November 6, 2013November 12, 2013 As the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) continues its support of consumer choice in regards to where and from whom they receive services, the agency has been thoughtfully considering the needs of consumers with extensive medical issues. If a provider chooses to convert, close or downsize a Supervised Group Living (SGL) residence or a large private Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) facility, the residents are given the option to transfer to another SGL, large private ICF/IID facility or access DDRS’ Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH) waiver. However, for some of these residents, extensive, long-term chronic health needs dictate that they receive more stringent medical management. This may require an increase in the number of four-bed Extensive Medical Needs (EMN) SGLs. |
