When a nursing facility is unable to meet the needs of the individual, the department may assist the facility or the individual in finding an appropriate placement. Payment to the facility will continue for a maximum of 30 days or until the date of transfer to the new facility, whichever occurs first.
When an individual no longer needs nursing facility services and is given a self-care level of care, the burden of finding a place to live rests with the individual. The department may assist the individual if so requested. Payment to the facility will continue for a maximum of 60 days or until the date of transfer to the community, whichever occurs first.
No payment is allowed for self-care.
