Transitions Toward Independence (TTI) is a long-running program within Community Case Management Services. Program staff have combined experience of over 25 years in the area of home care and the elderly.

The program is designed to serve those elderly or disabled people in northeastern Connecticut who no longer need the constant care provided by a skilled nursing or intermediate care facility and want to return home or to another living arrangement where they can have increased independence and still receive the supports they need. Through consultations, the service can also assist with preventing premature institutionalization for people who are at imminent risk of being placed in such a facility.

A unique feature of the program also allows case management services to follow an individual through a variety of successive short-term placements as for example, from a hospital to a nursing home to a rest home to the community.

The program works with the client, their families and/or facility staff to:

• Help find appropriate places for people to live, either at home or in another facility that does not provide constant care
• Help arrange for homemaker services, visiting nurse care or other needed assistance or services
• Help arrange for necessary financial assistance
• Provide counseling support to the person in transition and to his or her family

Eligibility: The program can serve anyone within the 21 towns of northeastern Connecticut; there are no asset or income restrictions.

Funding is provided by the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services.
