Compiled by the Agencies of Chatham County for The Benefit of Families and Caregivers of Persons with
“Different Abilities”.

believing in what Chatham County could accomplish for those with “different abilities”.

Don’t Quit
By C.W. Longenecker
When things go wrong and they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions is the local management entity / managed care organization for the state-funded mental health, substance abuse, and developmental disabilities services for Chatham County & 9 other counties in north central NC. In April 2005, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) began changing how Medicaid-funded services for mental health, substance abuse, and development disabilities were provided.
Individual Support -Mental Health for Adults (18 & Older): Medicaid billable; Effective 04-01-07: Individual Support Services are “hands-on” individualized assistance with everyday activities that are required by an individual with severe and persistent mental illness in order to live independently in the community. The services are provided for adults ages eighteen (18) and older and are intended to support a person in a private home or licensed group home that have a documented transition plan and want to move to independent housing. Individual Support can be billed while the person is living in the licensed facility or private home up to six (6) months prior to moving. Specifically, this service provides assistance with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) including preparing meals, managing money, shopping for household necessities, using the telephone, housecleaning, laundry, transporting the individual to access the community, medication management, supervision and cuing. The goal is to provide coaching to the individual in areas of need and fade this support over time.
Service Type/Setting: Individual Support is a periodic service. It is intended to support an individual who is living in an independent residence, or who is transitioning to independent housing from a licensed residential facility within the next two (2) months. This service is available to those residing in non-licensed supported housing where there is not twenty-four (24) hour staffing. This service is not available to those living in licensed adult care homes or other licensed community based residential settings, or who are maintained within a family residence except for two (2) months prior to moving to independent housing.
Program Requirements: Individual Support is a one on one service provided directly to the individual. The service must be reflected in a Service plan based on an Individual Support Planning process that reflects the strengths, needs and preferences of the person served. The goals incorporated into the Service Plan must justify the hours requested, and must include a step-down plan which identifies and utilizes natural supports.
Entrance CriteriaAdults eligible for this service must be age eighteen (18) or older, must have a diagnosis ofSevere and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI), and must demonstrate a deficit in at least oneInstrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL).

NC Innovations is a means of funding services and supports for people with various developmental disabilities who are at risk for institutional care in an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability / Developmental Disability.

Process for NC Innovations Waiver Services (formerly CAP-I/DD): For Orange-Person-Chatham Counties (OPC), call 1-800-233-6834, the Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions Access line and ask to speak to someone about getting on the Registry of Unmet Needs. The screening may be done over the phone, taking 30 minutes to an hour, and arrangements may be made for someone to return your call. If the individual meets the criteria, their name is placed on the registry (formerly referred to as waiting list.) People are tracked on the registry according to time waiting or the date they are placed on the registry. It will be helpful in the process to have as much documentation of your family members' Developmental Disability as possible, including the most recent psychological evaluation that has been done. If your family member has Medicaid, there may be other services that they are eligible to receive. Please ask the DD Specialist you talk to about available B-3 services such as respite.

CAP-DA: (Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults) Begins at Age 18+The Chatham County Public Health Department is the contact agency: 919-742-5641 Ext 8267 (Rebecca Blalock). They provide a package of services to allow adults age 18 & older who qualify for nursing facility care to remain in their private residences. CAP/DA is an extension of Medicaid, and is intended for individuals who have very limited financial resources. Eligibility for CAP/DA differs from regular Medicaid in several important ways, however. Most significantly, CAP/DA eligibility is determined by the income and assets of the client only (not the spouse or other family members). For those who qualify, CAP/DA provides extensive home and community-based services, which may include some services not covered by regular Medicaid, such as: 1) adult day programs, 2) more extensive home care (but not 24-hour care), and 3) supplies such as incontinence products and nutritional supplements. Information required to complete the application includes the client’s Medicaid number (if already on Medicaid), Social Security number, monthly income, primary physician’s name and phone number, and client’s diagnosis, as well as information about their needs for assistance.Once this information has been provided, the client is placed on the CAP/DA waiting list. The wait may be as long as 18-24 months – call as soon as possible. The waiting list is first-come, first-served. No exceptions are made based on the severity of need. The only possible exception is when the client has already been residing in a nursing home for at least 3 continuous months and wants to return to a community setting; such clients may be given higher priority based on a different funding source. Initially, the application is reviewed for financial eligibility. A physician must also complete paperwork indicating that the client is at a nursing home level of care. Then, if the client qualifies financially, care needs are evaluated through a home visit. A physician must also complete paperwork indicating that the client is at a nursing home level of care. If the client’s level of need is deemed appropriate
68
for CAP/DA services, the client enters the program. A case manager is assigned to assist the client in getting the services they need and monitoring the care that is provided as needs change.

Living Wills: A living will is a legal document that a person uses to make known his or her wishes regarding life prolonging medical treatments. It can also be referred to as an advance directive, health care directive, or a physician's directive. A living will should not be confused with a living trust, which is a mechanism for holding and distributing a person's assets to avoid probate. It is important to have a living will as it informs the health care providers about your desires for medical treatment in the event you are not able to speak for yourself. The requirements for a living will vary by state so you may want to have a lawyer prepare your living will. Power of Attorney for Health Care: You'll also want what's usually called a durable power of attorney for health care. In this document, you appoint someone you trust to be your health care agent (sometimes called an attorney-in-fact for health care, health care proxy, or surrogate) to make any necessary health care decisions for you and to see that doctors and other health care providers give you the type of care you wish to receive.
