Quick Review-Institutional Settings Excluded settings: NF, IMD, ICF-ID/DD, hospitals Presumed to have institutional qualities: Facilities that provide inpatient treatment Settings on the ground of, or immediately adjacent to, a public institution Settings that have the effect of isolating individuals receiving HCBS from the broader community of individuals not receiving HCBS NACDD-July 22, 20159

Quick Review-Community Settings All HCB settings must: be integrated in and support full access to the greater community be selected by the individual from among setting options; ensure individual rights of privacy, dignity and respect, and freedom from coercion and restraint; optimize autonomy and independence in making life choices; & facilitate choice regarding services and who provides them Provider owned or controlled settings have additional obligations Any modification of these conditions must be supported by a specific assessed need and justified in the PCP NACDD-July 22,
