| An initiative known as "Return to Community" is targeted toward nursing home residents who have expressed a desire to return to the community and have the resources and supports to assist with the transition. Return to Community focuses on the nursing home resident and their family by: • Begin planning for discharge at nursing home admission • Equipping residents with self-care skills • Supporting family caregivers • Arranging community services as appropriate • Providing follow-up after nursing home discharge Return to Community is targeted to nursing home residents who: • Are early in their nursing home stay (60-90 days after admission) • Have the desire and resources to return to the community and/or supports to assist with the transition. The Return to Community service is provided by MinnesotaHelp Network™ staff, known as Community Living Specialists, who will assist residents in- person with the transition from the nursing facility to the community. A unique feature of the Return to Community Initiative is that follow-up assessments will be completed for a number of years with the individuals who are transitioned out of the nursing home. This service is being implemented through the MinnesotaHelp Network™, which includes the Department of Human Services, the Minnesota Board on Aging, the Area Agencies on Aging, and the Senior LinkAge Line®.
