What is the MFP Program and what does it do? The MFP program helps a person with the funding and organization of moving out of a medical facility. It helps with setting up housing, necessities, medical equipment and temporary in home caregivers. ​MFP is a federal demonstration grant, received by the CT Department of Social Services from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to help rebalance the long-term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice regarding where they live and receive care and services. The program builds on current programs by offering enhanced community services and support to those who have resided in nursing facilities for at least three months. Under MFP, CT will receive, for those transitioning back to the community, an enhanced Medicaid match of nine million dollars over five years, being reimbursed for 75 percent of costs for the first year back in the community instead of the customary 50 percent. This federal support is a financial incentive for Conn. to reduce the use of more expensive institutional care for Medicaid recipients. The approach is more cost-effective for taxpayers and is expected to lead to improved quality of life for older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental illness. People transitioning back into the community have the choice of where they want to live, whether it’s the person’s own home, a family member’s home, an apartment or congregate living. ​ Goals of the MFP ​ Increase dollars spent on home and community based services. Increase the percent of people receiving their long-term services in the community relative to those in institutions. Decrease the number of hospital discharges to nursing facilities for those requiring care after discharge. Increase the probability of people returning to the community within the first three months of admission to an institution Transition individuals out of institutions and back into the community Individualized care plans are created based on need. CCCI transition coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with community supports, system navigation, accessing resources and living arrangements.

Community First Choice (CFC) is a new program in Connecticut offered to active Medicaid members as part of the Affordable Care Act. This program allows individuals to receive support and services in their homes. These services can include—but are not limited to—help to prepare meals and do household chores, and assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, transferring, etc.). Educational services will be available to help you increase your independence, and learn how to manage your in-home staff. Who is eligible? CFC is open to any Medicaid member that can self-direct services and meets the Institutional Level of Care. Institutional Level of Care means you would likely need to be in an institution, such as a nursing home if you did not have a home and community-based services. This program allows an eligible person to have care and support in their home. What is self-direction? Can I have help with my self-direction? Self-direction is when you, or someone you appoint, make the decisions regarding your care and services. You have control over what services you want in the home, and you have the responsibility of managing those services. Self-direction promotes personal choice and control during a person-centered planning process. If you have a Conservator or someone acting with Power of Attorney (POA), they can help you self-direct. Whom can I hire? If you enroll in CFC, you will be able to hire from a pool of qualified staff. You can hire certain family members and friends. You will set the hiring requirements for each of your staff. Can I hire any family members? In most cases, yes! There are some exclusions, which you can discuss with the Care Manager assigned to you. Will criminal background checks be completed? Yes, the State of CT is committed to allowing you to choose whom you hire. We also want that to be a well-informed choice. You will receive background check information on all staff you want to hire. Where can I get care? Care is provided in your home. You can also use staff to go out for community activities, doctor’s appointments, and errands. How does this affect me if I am currently on a waiver? Any individuals currently on a waiver will remain on that waiver. If you use self-directed Personal Care Assistants (PCA) on your waiver, you will automatically become a CFC participant for the covered services. Additional information will be provided by your Waiver Care Manager. How does this affect me if I am on the PCA Waiver waitlist? If you are on the PCA waitlist and are active on Medicaid, you can apply for CFC.
