Moving From a Nursing Home

Nursing Facility Transition Services is a program that provides nursing home facility residents with the opportunity to explore alternatives and community-based living options.

The program is available to residents of nursing facilities, on Medicaid, who would like to return to their home, move in with family members, find an apartment, or choose another living option in the community.

Supports and services needed after an individual moves back home may be available for those who meet functional and financial guidelines. Efforts will be made to identify community resources to address the individual’s needs.

Nursing facility residents may request transition services for themselves, or a referral for services may be made by any concerned individual such as a family member, friend or social worker.

For more information call the Area Agency on Aging 1-B Information and Assistance Line at (800) 852-7795 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m to 5 p.m.

Note: Services provided are paid for by the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
