INARF Q&A List Serve Question: Safely Serve Notice

Responses:

• What I think ended up happening is that we had to get cited at an immediate jeopardy level that forced the state’s hand.  (These were group home clients.)  I don’t know how that client protection piece would even kick in with the waiver.  Adult Protection and Advocacy?
   
• We feel as though we have no other options and are forced to continue to provide services and figure it out. Since putting in our notice, we have reached out to some of our most seasoned DSPs, managers, and directors to provide staffing support, and have started providing 24/7 1:1 support to this individual. 
   
• CIH waiver-The Waiver Manual and policies are clear.  We must serve them until there is an agency to take the place of the current provider agency.  Maybe look outside the waiver and seek behavior health?  
   
• We have found some success in working with BDS through this but have also brought in the ombudsman as it is appropriate.
