Initiative Description
We have worked with the state's Take Me Home program. This program is designed to increase the number of smooth transitions from hospital/nursing home to own home and keep elderly individuals in their own home as long as possible.
Lessons Learned/Replication
We established a relationship with DHHR and Medicaid services within the state for this. The partnership was successful because it offered another option for AT as those needs are identified during assessments prior to the transition.
