Advertiser Staff
The state will be using a $10.3 million federal grant to help Medicaid clients with disabilities and chronic illnesses move into home- or community-based long-term care settings.This new "Going Home Plus" program will build on a current Department of Human Services program that helps elderly and disabled individuals transition out of hospitals and other institutional settings into residential homes.
Over the past four years, the original "Going Home" program has moved 765 clients into foster family homes.
