Patient Advocate

 

Transitioning persons with disabilities who would do well on their own, living independently into community from Nursing Homes across the state of Georgia.

Assist with the application process of getting admitted into the ICWP Program as well as others such as MFP, CCSP, SOURCE, and more.

  • Goal-Oriented Planning: Community Involvement goals
  • Care Improvement goals
  • Promote and Support Client Self-Management

Resources Assistance - researching and identifying possible resource options for filling a client need that is not covered by Medicaid or other benefits services. (FODAC, Salvation Army Georgia Legal Services, Goodwill, Red Cross, Local Food Banks, Utility Assistance from local churches, etc.)

Actively involved and committed to providing education to the community on how well the Waiver programs work to facilitate person living independently instead of being confined to a facility.

We volunteer for committees and State Boards committed to getting the reimbursement rates for the ICWP Program increased. We very clearly understand that a caregiver’s rate of pay can affect the quality of care received by the client.

Caregiver Assistance – taking steps to ensure that your caregivers provide and maintain all current certifications as required by the ICWP Program. Keeping your caregivers certifications current is a requirement for the client to remain eligible for program services. We are glad to track, advise and even provide some of these required certifications as well as in-service training hours.

Preserving your benefits and providing quality care are our commitment to you
