Program Authorization: Act 69 of 1847 and Act 253 of 1972
The mission of the Community Support Program is to provide community services to eligible clients in compliance with all licensing and accreditation standards to meet the individualized patient care needs of persons assigned Intermediate Care Facilities-Mental Retardation (ICF-MR) Group Home Program.
The goal of the Community Support Program is to provide a 16 bed ICF-MR program, through a group home setting, to eligible clientele from Feliciana Forensic Facility and from East Louisiana State Hospital. It is the goal of this program to accomplish this by rehabilitating and re-socializing the individual for a normal society setting (a normalized environment).
The Community Support Program is responsible for the operation of the 16-bed (three homes) ICF-MR group homes. This program operates in a manner consistent with all federal and state certification, licensing, governing body, legislative mandates, and other regulatory body standards, including the maintaining of Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and all other appropriate accreditation.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indictors are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
SOURCE OF FUNDING
The Community Support Program is funded from Interagency Transfer Revenue. Interagency Transfers include Title XIX reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid eligible ICF/MR patients received through the Department of Health and Hospitals.
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 96.5% of the existing operating budget. It represents 90.5% of the total request ($1,440,367) for this program. The major changes reflected in this analysis include a decrease of $43,756 for acquisitions and major repairs and personnel reductions. The changes should have no significant impact on the delivery of these services.
