To the Honorable, the Legislature:
In accordance with Section
51.06 (8), Wisconsin Statutes, enclosed is a copy of the report on people relocated and diverted from nursing homes, intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs‐MR), and State Centers for the Developmentally Disabled in FY 2007. This report provides information related to four programs, the ICF‐MR Restructuring Initiative, Relocations from the State Centers for the Developmentally Disabled, the Community Relocation Initiative, and the Nursing Home Diversion Initiative.
The Department's relocation and diversion programs have been highly successful, providing the opportunity in FY07 for 1,064 elderly individuals and people with physical and developmental disabilities to live in community based settings, who otherwise would have resided in ICFs‐MR and Nursing Facilities. Over the full 05‐07 biennium, approximately 1,830 elders and people with physical and developmental disabilities have successfully relocated from institutional settings and an additional approximately 310 individuals were diverted from admission to a nursing home through the Department's programs. The quality of life for these 2,140 individuals has been enhanced through the opportunity to live in the community and be near family and friends and more fully involved in community activities.
I trust you will find the enclosed report useful. Please contact Sinikka Santala, Administrator of the Division of Long Term Care at 608‐266‐0554 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Hayden
Secretary
Referred to committee on Aging and Long‐Term Care.
