"On the Move in Oregon" is a Money Follows the Person project funded by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oregon's "On the Move" project will demonstrate that long-term institutionalized populations of people with complex medical and long-term care needs can be served in their communities with wrap-around packages of supports and services. Project funding will be available to Oregon from the second quarter 2008 through September 2011. Estimates of people who can move back to their homes and communities in that time include:
-- 40 children with developmental disabilities in pediatric nursing facilities; -- 260 seniors with ADL and other needs in nursing facilities; -- 500 adults with physical disabilities in nursing facilities; and -- 200 adults with developmental disabilities in nursing and intermediate care facilities.
Housing, assistive technology, advocacy and other information for providing services to people with developmental disabilities or seniors and people with physical disabilities.
