Transitioning HomeTransition From a Facility Back Home

We believe every person can benefit from living where they choose to live. Our job is to figure out how to make that possible by tapping into community resources and supports. OCCK can support your transition to your home and community by:

• Finding accessible and/or low-income housing.
• Obtaining furnishings and household items.
• Finding financial support for housing deposits and other items.
• Finding community supports.
• Helping to establish in-home supports.
• Assessing technology needs.
• Navigating health systems.
• (And more)

• National data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reveal undeniable room for improvement, with only 50 percent of patients with Medicare Part A coverage successfully returning to home or community following a short stay in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF).
• While 90 percent of patients surveyed indicated that they had felt prepared to go home, responses to specific questions indicated gaps in transition planning.
• Those having appropriate supports in place when leaving the nursing home back into the community are 47 percent more likely to succeed and remain in their home and out of the nursing home. 
• Those who remain in their own homes are 40 percent more likely to continue making their own daily decisions related to meals, finances, and community outings.
