Concerning residential habilitation center residents' transition to the community.

Summary

  • Requires the DSHS to maximize federal funding for transitioning clients from the RHCs into residential community settings.
  • Requires the DSHS to use any savings achieved through efficiencies to extend services for crisis stabilization and respite for persons with developmental disabilities who receive no services or only limited services.
  • Requires the DSHS to use its Quality Assurance process to monitor the adjustment of each resident who leaves an RHC.
  • Requires the DSHS to report to the Legislature annually regarding persons who have transitioned from RHCs to community settings; the requirement ends November 1, 2018.
