JFS focuses on helping people improve their lives and life prospects.

Finding A Way Home

The Finding A Way Home program assists adults with complex health care needs who choose to move from a nursing facility to live with family members or to their own independent setting. With assistance from a Transition Coordinator, eligible consumers develop their own Transition Plan and may receive a wide range of services including personal care, personal attendant services, home modifications, respite care, and one-time household set-up expenses.

To be eligible, an individual must:

• Be a resident of a nursing facility for at least 6 months
• Be eligible for Medicaid
• Have healthcare needs that can be safely met in a community setting
• Be eligible for one of Delaware’s Medicaid Waiver programs, and
• Consent to move back to a family home or to an apartment with an individual lease.

To learn more about the Finding A Way Home program and the eligibility requirements, call Sharon Dickol 302-478-9411, ext. 112 or

Finding A Way Home is a Federal demonstration project of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),  in partnership with the Delaware Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance (DMMA) and the Division of Health and Social Services (DHSS), JFS and United Cerebral Palsy.
