How the Program Works
Refer older adults and adults with disabilities during regular business hours (Daily, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.).
Referrals received during nonbusiness hours will be acknowledged by 9 a.m. the next business day.
Acknowledge
211 Care Coordinators will acknowledge your referral within 30 minutes of receipt. The Care Coordinator will follow-up with the patient and begin identifying available resources using 211's comprehensive database.
Connect
211 Care Coordinators will assess patients to understand their needs and resources and develop a plan of action.
Follow-Up
211 Care Coordinators will engage patients in providing preventative services for a follow-up period of 120 days.
Which Patients Should Be Referred?
Refer these patients:
1. Older adults and adults with disabilities who are at risk of institutionalization, nursing facility placement, Medicaid eligible, or in need of other community-based resources to reduce unnecessary repeat hospitalizations.
2. Assistance is needed in locating older adult or adult with disability resources.
3. The patient provided consent.
