SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTER LOCATIONS Clinton County Carter Towers South Jones Street Lock Haven, PA Lock Haven East Water Street (JayCee Building) Lock Haven, PA Mill Hall Peale Avenue (Mill Hall Fire Hall) Mill Hall, PA Renovo Fourth Street (South Renovo Fire Hall) South Renovo, PA PLACEMENT SERVICES Placement Services are designed to assist the individual in determining the type of residential placement that will best meet their needs. The Office of Aging will assist them in securing such placement. Our Placement Services are coordinated with such community facilities as Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes LONG TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN An Ombudsman is a person trained and certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging in the investigation and resolution of complaints made by, or on behalf of, consumers of long term care services. Ombudsmen help consumers voice concerns and exercise their rights, in order to protect the dignity, well-being, and quality of life for individuals age 60 and over, in various care settings. 2 11
5 . SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTER LOCATIONS LONG-TERM CARE ASSESSMENTS The PA Department of Public Welfare (DPW) requires that whenever someone applies for Medical Assistance to pay for a nursing home stay, a thorough assessment is completed to determine what level of care (i.e. nursing home, personal care home or community services) is appropriate for the individual. A physician s medical report is needed to start the process. These Long Term Care Assessments are also completed on those applying for a personal care home Social Security supplement and for other DPW programs, such as Waiver Services. Facilities and individuals may also request a level of care determination. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA) requires everyone applying for nursing home care to be screened for mental illness, mental retardation or other related conditions. The law is to ensure that people with these conditions receive appropriate and active treatment according to their needs. With certain exceptions, persons found to have these conditions are required to have a special evaluation to recommend appropriate care and treatment. These special assessments are also completed by Office of Aging staff.

The Office of Aging will determine if sufficient formal and informal services and supports can be developed and implemented so as to safely and adequately meet the person s needs. We will then offer the person the option of implementing a plan for services in their home, thus delaying or preventing a d missi o n to a n ur sing facility. The servic e s may a l so b e u sed t o r e t ur n home from a n u r sing f ac i lity. There are financial eligibility requirements for participation in this program. Nursing Home Transition The Nursing Home Transition (NHT) program assists eligible nursing home residents who wish to safely return to the community and to a more independent lifestyle, with the assistance of Aging Services. NHT is available to anyone over 18, and of any income level. Our office will directly assist individuals over 60 and we will provide referral assistance to anyone under 60. NHT will work with the interested nursing home resident, the nursing facility staff and any other parties to try to meet the goals of the individual. NHT will educate on the options available and work together on choosing the best option(s) for the consumer as well as gaining the assistance needed. Together, we may be able to overcome barriers the consumer may not be able to overcome without the help of the Office of Aging. 9

A lifetime amount of up to $2,000 may be available toward the purchase of assistive devices or home modifications. Reimbursement amounts are determined by actual expenses and household income.
