NURSING HOME TRANSITION 

The Disability Network of Mid-Michigan is offering a new program to assist people who desire community-based living as an alternative to nursing home residency. Thanks in part to a grant by MDCH, this new program is available for residents of nursing homes – regardless of their disability – who request a more independent living environment.

Anyone can make a referral – the individual, family member, friend or agency representative – by simply calling our office. Once this referral is received, a meeting will be arranged to begin identifying where the person would like to live and the necessary resources for the transition to take place. 

During this person-centered process, the individual is regularly and actively involved in each stage, and can terminate the process at any time.

In addition to the personal assessment plan, the Disability Network will also assist in finding affordable housing, determining the accessibility of existing housing, and identifying any helpful modification options that are available.
