Acknowledgements

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Bronx Family Support Annual Conference, the Bronx DD Council commends the members of the Family Support Committee who work tirelessly to make this conference a success. Without the input and generosity of these key people, we could not say that is the Best Family Support Conference in New York State.

Thank you to Mary Bonsignore and Nellie Vélez, Co-Chairs, who founded the committee and lead it to success every year. Mary and Nellie are the inspiration behind the conference. Their ability to plan a new and different conference every year is amazing.

We want to thank Diane Santiago-Rodríguez, Advocate, who has the responsibility of organizing the Resource Directory Guide. Her ability to devote the time and patience to update and make changes to the information provided assures a comprehensive and user friendly guide.

Special recognition to Deborah Weston, Parent Advocate; Elizabeth Longeran, Metro N.Y. DDRO; Jean M. Bondy, I.A.H.D and Diane Santiago-Rodríguez, Advocate, for their work assuring the accuracy of the information in the guide. Thanks also to John Paul González, Advocate.

We also want to thank all of the members of the committee for their dedication and hard work throughout the year.

Adult Bronx Day Services 2018

ADULT DAY SERVICES OVERVIEW OF ADULT DAY SERVICES

The following programs/services are available for students who are graduating from the Department of Education, as well as, anyone eligible for OPWDD services over the age of 21. Occasionally, people are accepted at age 16 or 18.

DAY HABILITATION is a service under OPWDD’s Home and Community Based Wavier (HCBS). This program assist individuals to acquire, retain or improve their self-help socialization and adaptive skills including communication, travel and other areas in adult education. Day Habilitation regularly takes place in a non-residential setting, separate from the person’s private residence or other home. The person’s activities and environments are designed to foster the deployment of skills and appropriate behavior, greater independence, community inclusion, relationship building, self-advocacy and informed choice. Additionally, individuals accessing Day Habilitation often contribute to their communities through volunteer work. Transportation is provided.

DAY HABILITATION WITHOUT WALLS provides the same service as DAY HABILITATION but the only difference is that individuals gather at a site or hub and then are escorted, into the community, by staff. In some instances, individuals are escorted or transported from home, by staff, to community inclusion opportunities. Transportation is provided.

WORK READINESS PROGRAMS address the issue of occupational exploration, job hunting techniques, and behaviors necessary to hold a job. A significant component of this type of program is devoted to the individual’s participation in community-based work internships. Staff works directly with each person, at a work site, to further assess their work skills, preferences and support needs. Considerable time is spent on training people to travel independently to work locations. The final phase of the program involves individualized job placement, with intensive job coaching services. The coach helps each person learn work tasks and appropriate work behaviors. Coaching continues, as needed, to insure job relation. Transportation is not provided.

Waiver Services

The Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver provides services and supports to children and adults, with long-term needs and their families, to enable them to remain, at home, in the community. Waiver services are designed for people who require the level of care provided in a long-term care facility. Waiver services allow Medicaid to pay for some services not provided through “regular” Medicaid. Under the HCBS Waiver, parental income and assets are not considered when determining the child’s eligibility for Medicaid. Only the child’s income and assets are counted.

A flexible array of services and supports funded by Medicaid Waiver include:

26

Residential Habilitation Services (now Community Habilitation) provides persons, with DD, who do not reside in a residence, certified or operated by OPWDD, to acquire and/or improve the skills needed for activities of daily living. Services can be provided at any non-certified location, including the person’s home.

Day Habilitation Services provides supervised assistance to acquire and/or improve the skills needed in community settings away from home.

Prevocational Services prepares individuals for paid/unpaid employment.

Supported Employment Services provides competitive work in an integrated setting.

Respite Services provides temporary relief by trained respite worker to individuals responsible for the care and support for an individual with DD, via scheduled and time-limited in the home, out of the home, during the day, evening or overnight.

Environmental Modification is specialized equipment or changes to the living/work environment that enables persons with physical disabilities or limited communication lead more independent lives.

Adaptive Equipments are devices and/or appliances, etc., which enable the person to live more independently.

Plan of Care Support Services is an alternative form of services coordination to assist individuals to review and update their Individual Service Plan. An individual must have received at least 3 months of Medicaid Service Coordination to be eligible for this service, with the exception of those enrolled in Early Intervention.

Waiver ServicesFamily Education and Training may be provided to families enrolled in the HCBS waiver under 18 years of age.

Self-Direction is a funding method under Medicaid that enables an individual to design and direct their own services in accordance with a person-centered plan.

Care at Home Waiver for children with DD provides assistance to families with children living at home who have disabilities or medical conditions. To be eligible, a child must be under 18 years of age, have a developmental disability, demonstrate complex health care needs, be eligible for the level of care provided by an intermediate care facility, not be hospitalized and be ineligible for Medicaid.

27

Community Habilitation services are person centered and the amount of service is determined based on individual need.

Article 16 ClinicsArticle 16 Clinics are facilities certified by OPWDD to provide habilitation services (long-term therapies) to persons with developmental disabilities. These services are ordered by a physician or other practitioner, to reduce the effects of physical or mental disability, enabling the person to achieve maximum independence. Services include fitting, modification and training in the use of assistive devices to ameliorate the disability condition.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE MEDICAID SERVICE COORDINATOR FUNCTION WILL BE TRANSITIONING TO CARE COORDINATION EFFECTIVE

JULY 1, 2018.

THE LIST BELOW REPRESENTS ALL MSC AGENCIES WHICH WILL BE AFFILIATED WITH ONE OF THE THREE CARE COORDINATION

ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE OUR REGION. PLEASE REFER TO THE CCO SECTION AFTER THE MSC SECTION IN THIS GUIDE.

MEDICAID SERVICE COORDINATION

WHAT IS MSC?

66

Medicaid Service Coordination is a Medicaid State Plan service provided by OPWDD that assists Coordination is a Medicaid State Plan service provided by OPWDD that assists persons with developmental disabilities in gaining access to necessary services and supports appropriate to their needs. OPWDD delivers almost all service coordination through its Medicaid Service Coordination program. MSC is provided by qualified service coordinators and uses a person-centered planning process in developing, implementing, and maintaining an individualized service Plan.

MSC provides a vital link to information about service options. The service coordinator works with individuals and their families to develop a plan of care that assures individuals who are eligible for OPWDD services receive the assistance they need.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE MSC?

In order to receive MSC, a person must:

o Have a documented diagnosis of a developmental disabilityo Be enrolled in Medicaid.o Demonstrate a need for ongoing and comprehensive, rather than incidental service coordination.o Live outside of an intermediate Care Facility (ICF), Developmental center (DC), Psychiatric Hospital, Small Residential unit (SRU), Nursing Facility or

Hospital, or any other Medicaid Funded setting that provides service coordination.o Not be enrolled in any comprehensive Medicaid long-term service coordination program.

Most of OPWDD programs require Medicaid. If you do not currently have Medicaid, but are in need of any services contact, call Medicaid Service Coordination agencies and inquire about the home and community based waiver.

67

Plan of Care Support ServicesPCSS is an alternative form of service coordination. PCSS providers assist individuals to review and update their individualized service Plan. PCSS is delivered by a qualified Medicaid service Coordinator. Typically, an individual must have received at least three months of Medicaid Service Coordination to eligible for PCSS, with the exception of early intervention enrollees.

Care Coordination Organizations – The Heart of People First Care Coordination

80

Currently, services for people with developmental disabilities are coordinated by Medicaid Service Coordinators (MSC). The new era of People First Care Coordination will have as its foundation the creation of Care Coordination Organizations (CCOs). CCOs will provide Health Homes Services. CCOs coordinate a variety of healthcare, wellness and Developmental Disabilities (DD) services to achieve a holistic and integrated approach to meeting the full range of needs. A specialized team, comprised of a Health Home Care Manager working together with other professionals will work with the people we serve and their families to plan, execute and monitor individualized Life Plans.

There are 3 CCOs for Region 4 which serves the Bronx; they are: Advanced Care Alliance (ACA), Care Design and Tri-County Care. The current MSC agencies have aligned with one of the Care Coordination Organizations: Below is a list of each agency and the MSC agencies that have aligned with them.

The Care Coordination Organizations will be operational effective July 1, 2018.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES

As a family member of a person with developmental disabilities, placement of your loved one in the care of a residential service provide can be one of the most difficult decisions you will ever have to make. In planning the future for someone, you want to make sure that your family member will be safe and secure and receive the kind of care and treatment that will put your mind at ease.

There are many agencies in the Bronx that offer residential options. Their mission is to provide housing for people with developmental disabilities, assisting them to lead meaningful and productive lives in the manner they choose, in their own communities, with the supervision and supports they need. These services range from 24- hour supervised homes to apartments for more independent individuals.

When the time to consider a residential opportunity for a person and his/her family arrives, it will be necessary to seek information about what services the person needs where that person and/or the family would like services and which agency they would like to provide the service.

This guide serves to give you some knowledge about residential options, some questions you should ask when speaking with an agency and the names, address and contact persons of organizations that provide residential services in the Bronx. All of the organizations listed are licensed by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). The local office, the Metro NY Developmental Disabilities Regional Office (DDRO), can also be contacted for further information at (718) 430-0474.

You may also receive further support and assistance through the Bronx DD council both at the Executive Board meetings as well as the monthly Residential Committee meetings. For more information call Kathleen Cucinell at (914) 375-8898.

Please know that you are not alone out there. Good luck!

New York Cares Guiding PrinciplesNew York Cares is a program for ongoing out-of-home residential development for people with Developmental Disabilities who live in communities throughout New York State. Individuals who need out of home residential services and are eligible for those services from OPWDD and who are registered on the out-of-home residential waiting list shall:

o Have access to community-based services consistent with their need in an individualized service environment;o Play a significant role in developing those services through a person-centered approach that considers their needs and choices; o Be able to continue relationships with family, friends, and other individuals; ando Have the opportunity for increased independence, individualized and inclusion in the communities where they will be served.

Certified Supportive and Supervised Residences

o Residential Habilitation: individually tailored supports that assist with skills related to living in the community. These supports include adaptive skill development; assistance with activities of daily-living (hands-on); community inclusion and relationship building; training and support for independence travel; transportation; adult educational supports; development of social skills; leisure skills; self-advocacy and informed choice skills; and appropriate behavior development to help the individual access their community. Residential Habilitation also may include program related personal care and protective oversight and supervision

o Family Care (FC): certified program that provides a structured and stable home environment within a family unit to a person with developmental disability, offering support, guidance, and companionship. Family Care providers are home owners who receive a monthly stipend to care for individuals with developmental disabilities in their own homes. Learn more about Family Care program by reading our brochure (also available in Spanish), or contact your local DDRO.

o Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA): certified homes that provide room, board and individualized service options. There are two different kinds of IRAs. A Supervised Individualized Residential Alternative is home that has staff nearby at all times when individuals are at the residence. A Supportive Individualized Residential Alternative is a home in which living is more independent and supervision is based on the person’s need for supervision; staff typically is not onsite at all times when residents are home.

94

o Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF): residential treatment options in the community for individuals with specific medical and/or behavioral needs. ICF’s provide 24-hour on site assistance and training, intensive clinical and direct-care services, supervised activities and a variety of therapies. ICFs are designed for individuals whose disabilities severely limit their ability to live independently.

o Community Residences (CR): provides housing, supplies for daily living like food and toiletries, and services on a daily basis for individuals who have Developmental Disabilities. Community Residences foster supportive interpersonal relationships, offer supervision to ensure health and safety, and assistance in learning activities that are part of daily living. Community Residences are designed to provide a home environment, and also provide a setting where individuals can acquire skills necessary to live as independently as possible. There are two types of community residences; supervised, in which staff are nearby at all times that individuals are in the residence, and supportive, in which living more independent. In supportive community residences, staff are on-site and available less than the entire time that individuals are home, based on the specific support needs of an individual.
