Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) designed to streamline access to long term care
Real Choice Systems Change Grants for Community Living Designed to help states and territories
“rebalance” their long term care support programs to help people with disabilities or chronic illnesses to reside in their homes and participate fully in community life

Importance of Informal Caregivers
80 percent of individuals 65+ with impairments in NY receive care from family/informal caregivers.
4X the care provided by NY’s formal long term care service programs!
NYSOFA established the Family Caregiver Council
![Page 16: Creating Choices to Support Independence: A Consumer-Centered Approach to Long Term Care 2007 Annual Long Term Care Ombudsman Training Institute October](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d2a5503460f949ff366/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Cost of Doing Nothing....
If we do nothing....The system will continue to be fragmented, contributing to sky rocketing costs.
Within 10 years, the system will become unaffordable and unsustainable!
![Page 17: Creating Choices to Support Independence: A Consumer-Centered Approach to Long Term Care 2007 Annual Long Term Care Ombudsman Training Institute October](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d2a5503460f949ff366/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
NYSOFA and NYSDOH’s VISION
The two agencies envisioned a system for individuals with long term care needs that:
Minimizes confusion Supports informed decision making and
enhances choice Improve quality of life through early intervention
and prevention Help consumers identify appropriate levels of
care to prevent institutional care
RFA released in May 2006.
