Additional supplement programs with CCSP - MFP, Cd/pss and Tcare
- MFP -MFP was set up with the intention to increase the use of home and community based, rather than institutional long term care services. It was designed to eliminate barriers in state law that restrict the flexible use of Medicaid funds to enable persons to receive support for long term services in a setting of their choice.
- Cd/pss -Cd pss was set up for eligible clients or caregivers wanting to assume the role of employer of client direct care worker of personal support services. The employer acts as the employer of record and performs essential employer functions. Cd pass supports client choice and independence and promotes increased client participation in care planning and budgeting, service delivery, and the freedom to hire, supervise and train aides.
- Tcare -The vision for TCARE is to facilitate collaboration between care managers and family caregivers to determine needs through an assessment process. With the use of TCARE, staff strategically match community services to meet the identified needs and make informed choices about support services for caregivers. The use of TCARE views the whole family as the client and assesses the caregiver, care recipient and family care context.
Many elderly or disabled people need limited assistance to live more independently. CCSP individualizes services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
