CMP grant for late life empowerment
By Doug Beardsley | July 28, 2023 | SNF/NF providers
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), through the Nursing Facility Rates & Policy (NFRP) Division and the State Civil Monetary Penalties (CMP) Initiative, is seeking proposals from qualified Minnesota Medicaid-certified nursing facilities that are interested in implementing a resident and family peer support group program.
The Resident Empowered Solutions on Living Until the End (ResoLute) program is an innovative approach to holistic care recognized by the Pioneer Network as a recipient of the Commitment to Community Award. This program, created by Empira, embraces a concept titled: “The Work of Aging.” Using a conversation-based approach, the ResoLute program leverages peer support groups to help residents address late life developmental milestones and focus on what matters most to them. Interested facilities can find more information and an application on the
CMP Initiative website. Facilities selected for this CMP project will be awarded grant monies that cover the costs of facilitator education and support, facilitator guides, resident and family journals, and access to activities and tools to assist Work of Aging conversations and exploration.
An informational webinar was held for the first round of grants and the webinar was recorded. You can
view the recorded webinar here.
The deadline to apply for this grant is August 18, 2023.
While new CMP projects are currently on hold at the direction of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this ResoLute project had already been approved by CMS with a first round of grants released. Due to the CMP funding source, CMP grants are only available to nursing facilities.
