OLTL Specialized Services

The Department of Human Services is seeking an Applicant to work with the Department’s Office of Long-Term Living (“OLTL”) which is charged with the statewide administration of the Nursing Home Transition (“NHT”) Program. The NHT Program was developed to assist and empower individuals who want to move from a nursing facility back to a less restrictive community setting of their choice. Through the NHT Program, participants can receive the guidance and support they need to make informed choices about their long-term services and supports. Additionally, OLTL oversees the delivery of Specialized Services to participants with Other Related Conditions (“ORCs”), who have been identified through the Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (“PASRR”) process as needing to receive additional services in a nursing facility. Specialized Services consist of training, service coordination, advocacy, peer counseling and support groups, community integration, and related transportation, which enable participants to acquire, regain, improve, or maximize their skills and abilities, to live a more productive and satisfying life in the least restrictive setting possible.
