Abstract

A programmatic review for Pathway Home Adult Home+ teams gleaned the following key points for the field to consider in future care management practices. Class member self-efficacy and cross-system collaboration are essential in facilitating a class member's move into the community. Member choice and educating class members on their rights to move and options as well as community exposure prior to transition are important in assessing how a member fares outside of the Adult Home. Members determining their own care can reduce the risk of adverse outcomes and reinstitutionalization. Current low-touch care management programs are insufficient for members with complex needs living in institutions. These care management programs need to be augmented with a whole person approach, delivered by a multidisciplinary team.
