ADAPT

To: Governor Davis

From: ADAPT

Date: October 23, 2001

Subject: Most Integrated Setting

The rebuilding and funding of Laguna Honda Hospital is an example of California's non-compliance with the Olmstead decision.

ADAPT wants you, Governor Davis, to do the following:

1) Allow Laguna Honda residents to use Medicaid funds for community alternatives so they can live and receive support services in the most integrated setting. In other words, let the money follow the individual.

2) Refuse to use state dollars to match Medicaid funding for any individual in, or in danger of going into, Laguna Honda. Also refuse to allow any state dollars to be used for the rebuilding of this facility.

3) Develop, fund and implement, by February 2002, a comprehensive, effectively working plan (with goals of numbers of people to get out within given timeframes) that gets and keeps people out of nursing homes and other institutions.

4) Write a letter to the National Governor's Association requesting a meeting between their Executive Committee and ADAPT representatives.

5) Meet with ADAPT.
