The Nursing Home Transition Program (NHTP) and Money Follows the Person program (MFP) offers support to Rhode Islanders who are interested in returning to the community from a nursing home. A transition team provides information and support to help a person evaluate their needs, develop a plan of care, and facilitate the transition.
The Money Follows the Person program (MFP) provides the supports and services available through the Nursing Home Transition Program but has more specific eligibility criteria. Through the MFP program, the state is eligible for additional federal financial support to be used for enhancing the system of long term services and supports.
The transition team will help:
Arrange services and supports
at home or in the community
Work together with a person to identify
goals and develop a plan of care
Obtain necessary household
goods and assistive devices
Find housing, including providing
assistance with housing applications
and assisting with the move, if needed
Nursing home residents aged 18 or older and eligible for Medicaid may qualify.
If you or someone you know may be a good fit for the program, please reach out to us!
