Adult Placement Services
Adult Placement Services help aging or disabled adults find appropriate
living and healthcare arrangements when their health, safety, and well-being
can no longer be maintained at home. Placement arrangements are made
in adult care homes, nursing homes, other substitute homes, residential
health care settings, or institutions.
Adults and their families receive help to complete medical evaluations
and financial applications, and locate and move to new settings. They
also may receive counseling to help them adjust to the change.
Adult placement services also help elderly and disabled adults in the
following situations:
- Those unable to maintain themselves in their own homes independently
or with available community or family supports
- Those living in substitute homes, residential health care facilities,
or institutions and needing assistance in relocating due to changes
in level of care needed
- Those who need assistance in returning to more independent living arrangements
- Those who need assistance in adjusting to or maintaining their placements
due to individual or family problems or a lack of resources
