Centers for independent living (CILs) and other disability advocacy organizations help adults with disability transition from inappropriate nursing home placements to community living. RTC: Rural conducted a national survey to identify and assess current CIL nursing home transition policies, procedures, and practices. In the previous year, 165 respondents had transitioned a total of 2,389 residents from nursing homes to community living arrangements. Particularly noteworthy is that only about 4 percent of those emancipated returned to a nursing home for any reason. We also reviewed transition policy and procedures documents from twenty-eight CILs in 14 states. While most policies reflected most of the components of a standard model, several components appeared under-represented.
