    Nursing Home to Community Living

    What is Community Transitions (formerly known as MFP)?

    (800) 474-7540
    Community Transitions allows people in nursing homes or other long-term care institutions who are elderly or have physical or developmental disabilities to move out and receive services and supports to live in their own homes and communities. Community Transitions are available in all counties. 

    Money follows the individual by allowing the state to pay for long-term care in a home and community-based setting rather than an institutional setting by providing in-home services and supports.

    Who can benefit from Community Transitions (formerly known as MFP)?

    In order to be eligible for Community Transitions, you must:

    • Live in a nursing home or other institution for at least three (3) months (with some exceptions), receiving long-term care
    • Be a Medicaid recipient and Medicaid has paid for at least one day of care in the facility
    • Meet institutional level of care

    What Community Transitions services are available?

    • Peer Community Support
    • Security Rent Deposits
    • Utility Deposits
    • Transportation
    • Trial Visits to the Community
    • Transition Supports
    • Caregivers Training
    • Ombudsman Visits
    • Equipment & Supplies
    • Household Goods & Furnishings
    • Moving Expenses
    • Skilled Out-of-Home Respite
    • Environmental Modifications

    Who do I contact?

    If you wish to participate in Community Transitions (or refer a friend or family member to the program), Call us at (800) 474-7540 and ask for a transition counselor.

    Getting Started

    Advocacy Long-term Care Ombudsman

    For concerns about residents of nursing homes or personal care homes, contact the Georgia Long-Term
    Care Ombudsman Program.
    Local number: (706) 549-4850
    Contact: (866) 552-4464

    FAQs:

    What is an Ombudsman?
    “Ombudsman” is a Swedish word that means “Citizen Representative”. An ombudsman works to
    increase the responsiveness of organizations to the people they serve.

    What is a Long-Term Care Ombudsman?
    A Long-Term Care Ombudsman seeks to improve the quality of life of the residents of long-term care facilities. These facilities include nursing homes, and personal care facilities. We cover 29 counties in Georgia.

    What does the Long-term Care Ombudsman do?

    • Investigates and works to resolve problems or complaints affecting long-term care residents.
    • Identifies problem areas in long-term care and advocates for change.
    • Provides information about long-term care and related services.
    • Promotes resident, family and community involvement in long-term care.
    • Educates the community about the needs of long-term care residents.
    • Coordinates efforts with other agencies concerned with long-term care.
    • Visits long-term care facilities routinely to talk to residents and monitor conditions.
    • Educates facility staff about residents rights and other issues.

    What types of Issues does an Ombudsman handle?

    • Rights of long-term care
    • Care provided in long-term care facilities
    • Transfers and discharges from long-term care facilities (including assistance with appeals).
    • Background and Authority

    The Long-term Care Ombudsman Program is governed by the federal Older Americans Act and by Georgia law. The Division of Aging Services of the Department of Human Resources administers the statewide Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program through 17 community programs located throughout the state.

    These programs are funded by Area Agencies on Aging and funded with federal, as well as state and local, dollars. There is no charge for services provided by the ombudsman program. However, contributions are appreciated and are used to support additional ombudsman services and activities to benefit Georgia’s long-term care residents.

    Nursing Homes
    Personal Care Homes

    The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program works to improve the quality of life of residents in nursing homes and personal care homes by acting as their independent advocate. Ombudsman staff and volunteers informally investigate and resolve complaints on behalf of residents. A monthly progress report can be obtain at the Department of Human Resources page for the entire State of Georgia.

    Examples of Outstanding Accomplishments
    In addition to assisting individual residents, the Ombudsman Program also advocates for system wide improvements to long-term care:

    Improved Protections for Residents of Community Living Arrangements

    Ombudsmen successfully advocated for stronger resident protections in the newly developed regulations for Community Living Arrangements (i.e. a new category of homes for people served by the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Addictive Disease).
    Improved Staffing in Long-Term Care In advocating for more adequate staffing in long-term care, ombudsmen advocated for legislative action to improve nursing home staffing and co-sponsored forums to share best practices in recruiting and retaining long-term care workers.
    Enhanced Independence as an Advocate for Residents

    Effective January 2002, the Office of the State Long-term Care Ombudsman was reorganized to more appropriately reflect it’s independent role within the aging network.
