NEW YORK — The state’s Department of Health has allocated $27 million for a nonprofit to help nursing home residents transition to a community.
A request for proposals is out, asking for a way to administer a statewide network of transition centers to help residents. The network will provide re-entry education, peer outreach and education to all of the state’s nursing homes.
The transition assistance comes through the state’s Money Follows the Person program. Between 2008 and mid-2018, nearly 5,000 New Yorkers transitioned to living in the community of their choice through MFP, Crain’s reported.
