In this study, we examined the role of housing and social support on older adults’ ability to move out of institutional settings through the experiences of MFP stakeholders in Connecticut. Preliminary findings from semi-structured interviews with older adults who are eligible or applied to MFP (n = 25), caregivers (n = 16) and MFP professional staff (n = 43) are presented. Qualitative analysis included key word searching, inductive coding, and thematic analysis. Older adults and their caregivers reported that access to housing increased opportunities to leave nursing facilities. However, access to housing was not always sufficient. An older adult with dementia who was reinstitutionalized recounts losing her apartment because she did not have familial support, “I lost everything... My niece never went to the apartment”. Housing related assistance from family members included moving in with a family member, support finding a place, and facilitating the move,“My family is the one that went out and found this apartment and they moved all my stuff”. An MFP staff described the challenge for older adults, in particular people with dementia to transition if they do not have family support – “It’s possible but it is really hard…going home with family is definitely the easier route”. The presence of informal support shapes transition and can improve access to housing opportunities. Innovative approaches to housing are imperative for the growing population of older adults with minimal family support.","cbCaiepT4wFjKKL3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiepT4wFjKKL3","pdf",56369,"English","# Abstract\n## Program context and study aim\n## Methods and participant groups\n## Key findings on housing and support\n## Implications for housing innovation","[{\"question\":\"What is the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program’s goal?\",\"answer\":\"MFP is a Medicaid program that helps older adults move from long-term care institutions into the community.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the study findings generated?\",\"answer\":\"The study used semi-structured interviews with older adults, caregivers, and MFP professional staff, followed by qualitative analysis including keyword searching, inductive coding, and thematic analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is informal family support important for transitioning under MFP?\",\"answer\":\"Access to housing improves opportunities, but the study shows housing alone may not be sufficient; transitioning can be especially hard for people with dementia when family support is missing.\"}]","HOUSING, SOCIAL SUPPORT, AND TRANSITION IN CONNECTICUT’S MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSON PROGRAM - Abstract | PDF",1790639859]
