DHS 73.11 DHS 73.11 Criteria for determination of the infeasibility of in-home services.
DHS 73.11(1)(1)A county may use long-term support funds under s. 46.277, Stats., to provide services to a person residing in a CBRF if the county department or aging unit has determined that all 5 conditions under s. 46.277 (5) (d) 1n., Stats., have been met.
DHS 73.11 Note Note: The five conditions are: the completion of an assessment before the person's admission; determination of the infeasibility of in-home care; determination that the CBRF is the person's preferred residence; determination that the CBRF provides a quality environment and quality care services; and determination that the CBRF is cost-effective when compared to other residential options.
DHS 73.11(2) (2)To determine in-home care is infeasible, the county department or aging unit shall document in writing that all of the following have occurred:
DHS 73.11(2)(a) (a) A change has occurred in the individual's condition, functioning, living situation or supports so that arrangements that were in place and adequate to maintain the individual's health, safety and well-being are no longer sufficient to provide or ensure the provision of what the individual needs.
DHS 73.11 Note Note: Examples include, but are not limited to, when a spouse or other family member who has been a major caregiver dies or for some other reason can no longer provide care, or when there is a major change in the medical condition of a program participant such as a stroke or heart attack and there is need for more care and support but the additional funds or needed caregivers are for some reason not available.
DHS 73.11(2)(b) (b) Options for supporting the individual in his or her own home and community have been explored or attempted but have either failed or been found to be unavailable or not possible.
DHS 73.11 Note Note: Examples of efforts include, but are not limited to, other relatives, friends, neighbors or volunteers have been contacted; professional workers from a home health agency have been recruited and have attempted unsuccessfully to work with the individual in his or her home; and other options such as modifying the home and providing adaptations and aids to enable the individual to be more independent or obtaining nutritional services, adult day care and transportation are not available, feasible or cost-effective.
