The Money Follows the Person Identification of and Outreach to Nursing Home Residents Project (MFP) is a program of the New York State Department of Health (DOH). It was designed to identify and reach out to certain residents of nursing homes who are Medical recipients, in order to provide them with comprehensive and unbiased information about home and community-based services.
Contact with residents and/or their legal representatives is conducted by peers, including people with disabilities and seniors. Contact will be in person whenever possible. If this cannot be arragned, telephone or email may be used. Communication by residents and/or their legal representatives with outreach peers is voluntary.
Nursing home residents/ legal representatives who have not been identified by project criteria can request to meet with outreach workers and to be provided with services. In addition, family members or professional staff may make referrals of residents to peer workers.
The MFP outreach workers will inform facility discharge planners of residents* desire to return to the community when requested to do so by residents or their legal representatives.
Once equipped with information, residents/legal representatives can then work with their discharge planners to arrange for transition back to the community with appropriate services.
When necessary, MFP outreach workers can assist discharge planners in locating community services for their residents.
