BALANCING INCENTIVE PROGRAM REGIONAL FEEDBACK MEETING Date: 12/8/14 Time: 1:00PM-4:00PM Location: PATTAN-6340 Flank Drive, Harrisburg PA 17112 SPACE IS LIMITED (50-100 people) – Please RSVP to [email protected] by 12/2/14 Please email requests for any special accommodations (ie. Interpreter) to the email address listed above no later than 11/10/14 What is the purpose of the Regional Feedback Meetings? To discuss how we can improve knowledge and understanding of community supports and help people gain better access to those supports. This will allow individuals with disabilities and older Pennsylvanians the chance to remain in their homes and communities. This meeting is not a public hearing, but rather an opportunity to talk with each other regarding the best ways to help people learn about and obtain long-term community based supports. By the end of this meeting, together we will have identified: • Gaps in knowledge pertaining to what types of home and community based services (HCBS) exist in the region. • Best practices for providing information and educational materials on community based supports. • How the state can improve the long-term services and supports eligibility process, and how local groups and/or individuals can assist consumers with the application and enrollment process. • Barriers for individuals who want to transition from institutional settings to the community. • Best practices that help individuals using long-term services and supports remain in the community. • A plan to continue these discussions through the PA Link, and strengthen existing local partnerships.
