The Habilitation Coordinator is a special advocate for a vulnerable population of individuals residing in long-term care facilities. As a member of the Pre-Admission, Screening, Assessment and Resident Review (PASRR) Team, the Habilitation Coordinator coordinates services for adults with suspected mental illness or intellectual and developmental disabilities who are interested in living in the community with a variety of special supports instead of an institutional setting, or those who may need specialized behavioral health services as they reside in a nursing facility.

This position requires frequent use of initiative and independent judgment; assertive, professional intervention; frequent in-person services, long-term contact with individuals, families and service providers; and the ability to work with minimal supervision. Job responsibilities require flexible hours and schedule to meet the needs of individuals. We encourage a flex schedule if a visit after hours or on a weekend is more appropriate to meet a family or individuals needs.

Duties include providing habilitation coordination, intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) service coordination to a caseload of Nursing Facility residents to assure that appropriate services are delivered while they remain in the setting and assisting them to consider community living options if their needs can be met in a less restrictive setting. The ability to work collaboratively with others, including nursing facility personnel, Bluebonnet Trails Community Services provider staff, and families is necessary.

The person in this role will provide assessments for residents of nursing facilities and those requesting admission when there is reason to suspect the individual may have a mental illness or a developmental disability. The purpose of these assessments is to determine if specialized services related to their mental illness or developmental disability should be provided to the resident or if the individual requesting admission or newly admitted to a nursing facility could be served in a less restrictive setting in the community, diverting them from nursing facility admission.

In the case of diversion, the Habilitation Coordinator provides referrals to needed supports in the community.

This position requires knowledge and skills in assessment, collaborative person-centered recovery, differential diagnosis as well as wellness and recovery-oriented systems of care.

The position will carry a small caseload of about 25-30 people and will make monthly face-to-face contacts with individuals on the caseload. All services are documented in an electronic health record and provided in collaboration with a multidisciplinary recovery team.
