The Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration supports states’ efforts to help Medicaid beneficiaries living in long-term care facilities transition back to the community. People exiting long-term care facilities need diverse types of long-term services and supports to relocate to a residential setting and live successfully in the community. MFP grantees are using the funds made available by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to expand the mix of services to better meet people’s support needs during their first year in the community.

This report examines how six MFP grantees are serving populations with diverse needs in the community and the factors that have contributed to their strong performance on key outcome measures. The six states were selected based on having scored higher—relative to other state MFP grantees—on the number of people transitioned, rates of reinstitutionalization, changes in self-reported quality of life, and other indicators for each of the four populations the MFP programs targeted: older adults and people with physical disabilities who transition from nursing homes, people with intellectual disabilities, and people with mental illness.
