The Comprehensive Policy & Procedure Manual for Transition Services provides a detailed framework for assisting individuals with disabilities in successfully transitioning from nursing home settings to community-based living environments. This manual aligns with Utah Administrative Code R539-1, 42 CFR §441.301 HCBS Settings Rule, and RESNA Certification Standards to ensure services are compliant with state and federal regulations while prioritizing independence, dignity, and community integration for individuals with disabilities.
This manual outlines policies and procedures designed to support individuals through the transition process, providing the necessary services, planning, and resources to facilitate a move from institutional care to a home-like, integrated community setting. The policies cover areas such as eligibility, person-centered planning, the transition process, service coordination, and ongoing support post-transition. These guidelines ensure that individuals can achieve greater independence and participation in community life while receiving the appropriate care and services they require.
In addition to the transition process, the manual also addresses clinical documentation, client rights, safety standards, and compliance with health regulations. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive planning, including home modifications, assistive technology, and community integration strategies to ensure a successful and sustainable transition. The manual ensures that all staff involved in the transition process are adequately trained, meet the necessary qualifications, and hold relevant certifications, including RESNA Certification Standards for those working with assistive technologies.
By adhering to Utah Admin Code R539-1, the HCBS Settings Rule, and RESNA Certification Standards, this manual serves as a vital resource to ensure high-quality, compliant transition services. It helps agencies meet state licensure, Medicaid certification, and accreditation requirements while supporting individuals in their transition to community-based living, promoting independence, choice, and integration into the broader community.
