Counselors must strongly stress to referrals the importance of remaining in the nursing facility until they receive notification of certification from the Counselor for home and community-based services. If the individual leaves the nursing facility prior to notification of certification by MDRS, their name will be put on the IL Waiver or TBI/SCI Waiver Referral List based on the date of referral.
If they are currently an applicant for waiver services and leaves the nursing facility prior to notification of certification for home and community based services, services will not begin until a certification date is received.
