Nursing Home Transitions: Diversion from Nursing Facilities or Other Institutions

We emphasize empowering people to stay out of institutional care, allowing individuals to live in their homes or communities. Our services focus on keeping people independent and improving their quality of life.

 

Why Choose Nursing Home Transitions?

  1. People’s Preference: Most individuals prefer to stay in their own homes or communities as they age or experience a disability. The choice, better health, socialization, and dignity are some of the reasons people with disabilities prefer this option.

  2. Cost Efficiency: It costs the state twice as much to maintain someone in a nursing facility compared to supporting them in their own home.

  3. Prevention is Key: It’s always easier to keep someone out of a facility than to transition them out of one.

​

We serve people of all ages, from as young as one month old to as old as 102 years old. Our services are available to individuals with all types of disabilities, helping them achieve independence and live fulfilling lives.
