Nursing Home for Complex Care Behaviors

The Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) is issuing this RFP in collaboration with the Department of Social Services (DSS) to identify nursing home level of care for individuals in state care who are challenging to place. They could be transitioning from a correctional facility, have criminal justice involvement, and/or be individuals transitioning from a higher level of care provided by DMHAS. The State is seeking a provider that is clinically qualified, has established connections to the local behavioral health and corrections services landscape, and can work effectively across systems. Some key points to consider: • The RFP aims to provide 45 beds for nursing home level of care that will serve individuals who are challenging to place and meet the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) requirements for nursing facility level of care. • The provider should have experience working with individuals with complex care behaviors and be able to provide a safe and supportive environment. • The contract will be awarded to a provider that can demonstrate clinical qualifications, established connections to local services, and the ability to work effectively across systems.
