Any individual who is residing in a nursing facility (NF) and is wanting to transition from the NF to the home and community may request and apply for services through the Independent Living Waiver or TBI/SCI Waiver.
The individual will have their name placed on the Independent Living Waiver or TBI/SCI Waiver Referral List.
The individual can apply for services when:
* Their name comes to the top of the list and;
* A waiver slot is available and;
* MDRS/OSDP has funding available to support the slots that are federally approved.
The individual must reside in the nursing facility (NF) until a final determination is made indicating certification for the Independent Living Waiver or TBI/SCI Waiver unless they are transitioning on another OSDP Program.
