AERS is a State mandated program which provides assistance to functionally and chronically disabled adults who are at risk of institutionalization. AERS staff conduct a comprehensive evaluation to identify home and community based services that will meet their individual needs, enable them to avoid institutionalization, and remain as independent as possible in the least restrictive environment.
An assessment is completed by a nurse and/or social worker in the patient's home or current location. Upon completion of the assessment and individualized plan of care is developed to address identified needs. Following an AERS evaluation, the individual may request assistance to obtain the services recommended in the plan of care. Case management services can be provided to those individuals requiring further assistance.
