Project CHOICE (Consumers Have Options for Independence in Community Environments): Texas' Nursing Home Transition Program

This paper — which is one of a series of Appendices included in the demonstration's final report — describes Texas' nursing home transition grant. The report begins with a brief description of the three components of Project CHOICE, followed by a more detailed description of the two components that directly served consumers: one program to assist nursing home residents who want to move to the community, and one program to help people avoid a nursing home admission.
