Job description

Job Summary: The Habilitation Coordinator works alongside a team of advocates to help adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) seeking admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility, who may also have a co-occurring mental health diagnosis, to ensure access and continuity of care.

The Habilitation Coordinators' day-to-day activities follow the federally mandated Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) program guidelines. The PASRR program screens people seeking admission to ensure appropriate placement and access to required services. Habilitation Coordinators routinely use state electronic systems such as CARE and TMHP and can facilitate transition duties when an individual requests to move out of the nursing facility. To the extent required, a Habilitation Coordinators' focus may shift to primarily support functions, which can be referred to as PASRR evaluator tasks.

Habilitation Coordinators apply a person-centered approach and perform a set of four service coordination elements - assessment, service planning/coordination, monitoring, and crisis prevention/management. Efforts commonly include working within a multidisciplinary team consisting of internal or external community partners.

Regular, predictable attendance is considered to be an essential requirement for this position. Other duties may be assigned. May require a flexible work schedule.

Integral Care employees are to strive to maintain a trauma sensitive workplace, to embrace trauma sensitive and informed practices, and to foster a supportive and welcoming environment of care.
