California Community Transitions

The federal and state governments are working with professionals in your home community to let you know about options to long stays as an inpatient in a health facility. If your stay in a hospital, a nursing or subacute care facility or an intermediate care facility for persons with developmental disabilities has lasted longer than six months and you have been a Medi-Cal beneficiary for the last 30 days, you may be eligible for this special program. Someone from your local area can speak with you and the people you name to find services and supports that could help you live in a community setting.
California Community Transitions program representatives can assist you by:
Talking to you about where you want to live and receive services.
Exploring services and supports that are available in your home community.
Helping you talk about the program with your physician and other people you name.
Planning and coordinating a return to community living.

Talk to a Transition Coordinator

This is a voluntary program. There are many things to think about and consider with your family, friends and your doctor. Talking to a transition coordinator will help you find out if there is an affordable place to live and what services are available.

Make YOUR own decision;
explore your choices!

What to think about ...
Where and with whom do you want to live?
What can you do for yourself?
What do you need help with?
What questions do you have?
What income and resources do you have available?
What transportation is available for your doctor visits, shopping and other trips?

If you (or your loved one):

Have lived continuously in a hospital, a nursing or subacute care facility or an intermediate care facility for persons with developmental disabilities for six months or longer; and
Have used Medi-Cal during the last 30 days; and
Want more information about moving to your own place with services you want and need; and
Will work on a plan with a transition
coordinator, your doctor, family and
others who support your moving;
