Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE)
Overview
In specified areas of the state, a program called Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE), links primary medical care and case management with many referred providers of approved long-term health services in a person's home or community to prevent hospital and nursing home care. All SOURCE clients must meet nursing home level of care criteria and are Medicaid eligible.
SOURCE serves aged, blind and disabled Georgians who are eligible for Supplemental Security Income/ Medicaid (SSI). At the end of FY08, 13,312 people were enrolled in the SOURCE program. The program expenditures for FY08 totaled $143,955.968.
An assessment helps to determine how much care a participant needs. An individual care path is designed based on the need for medical monitoring and assistance with functional tasks. Family members and other informal caregivers as well as staff from support agencies participate in care paths. In addition to the core services, SOURCE offers personal support services, assisted living services, extended home health, home delivered meals, adult day health care, emergency response services and 24-hour medical access to a case manager and primary care physician.
The SOURCE program is currently available in the Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Baxley/Hinesville, Blue Ridge, Columbus, Gainesville, Sandersville, Savannah and Waycross areas, and participants must be a resident of one of the 117 counties served by the program. There is no waiting list for the SOURCE program.
