ElderPlace. ElderPlace assumes the full cost for all services
provided. In return, ElderPlace receives a payment monthly from
medicare and medicaid for providing the full range of medical,
social, and long-term care services that the participants need.
The amount of such payments is based on the number of
participants served.
Under the partnership agreement, ASD retains responsibility
for "screening and intake" of elderly individuals. As part of
its screening and intake of older adults for long-term care
services, ASD agrees to "consider ElderPlace as one of the
options available to the older adult." ASD will continue to
determine eligibility for medicaid services and will screen
persons for medicaid-waivered services to determine whether they
are eligible for the ElderPlace program. Under the partnership
agreement, ASD also remains responsible for "protective services"
(protecting the elderly against abuse, neglect, exploitation, and
abandonment).
But for the above-named purposes, individuals choosing to
enroll in the ElderPlace program are removed from the ASD case
management system and put into the ElderPlace system. ElderPlace
case management activities include developing a "care plan" for
the enrollee that takes into consideration the enrollee's need of
transportation, medical equipment, supplies, medications, and
therapies.
