Audience
This course is offered by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to care providers working in Adult Family Homes.
Course Overview
These online learning materials are available for adult family home care providers who could not attend the instructor-led-training presented to attendees of the 2017 Spring Conferences. The purpose of this training is to communicate changes related to the 2017-2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Specifically, this training will address: (a) Community Integration (CI), (b) Medical Mileage Reimbursement, and (c) Exception to Rule (ETR).
Community Integration
The training focuses on Community Integration. CI provides residents with opportunities to engage in their local communities through participation in relationships, activities, organizations, and community based services that are personally meaningful to them. Community Integration can be authorized for interested Medicaid residents who are DSHS-funded, NOT participating in the PACE program, and who cannot independently access the community or who do not have informal supports providing that access. Community Integration can be used to reimburse providers for planning activities, assisting clients during participation, and mileage (restrictions apply).
