Specifically, the demonstration will support State efforts to: a) Rebalance their long-term support system so that individuals have a choice of where they live and receive services; b) Transition individuals from institutions who want to live in the community; and c) Promote a strategic approach to implement a system that provides person centered, appropriate, needs based, quality of care and quality of life services and a quality management strategy that ensures the provision of, and improvement of such services in both home and community-based settings and institutions.
