Details:
The NWD System is designed to serve all populations who may need long-term services and supports (LTSS), regardless of payer. This includes people who represent a variety of ages, incomes, nationalities, citizenship statuses, cultures, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, languages, or disabilities. At its core, a state NWD System is a network of CBOs comprised of staff, such as information and assistance specialists, person-centered counselors, etc., that assist individuals navigating health and social care services and are supported by a governance structure that ensures these functions are available and coordinated across the state. These NWD partners have unmatched expertise in understanding local culture and needs, service coordination and delivery, and securing benefits, services, and supports that maximize independence. In addition, the workforce residing in a state’s NWD system are best positioned to understand a person’s preferences for community living; these preferences may differ depending on an individual’s age, race, culture, social and family support, as well as which applicable services and supports are important to a person and for a person.
The foundation of NWD Systems is supported by four key functions:
- State governance and administration
- Public outreach and coordination with key referral sources
- Person-centered counseling and care transitions
- Streamlined eligibility to public programs
