BARCI DA TBI Sleep is important for brain injury recovery because it allows the brain to rest and heal. During sleep, the brain is able to repair and regenerate cells, and it also consolidates memories and processes new information. ​ Lack of sleep can have a negative impact on brain function and can hinder recovery from a brain injury. Sleep deprivation can impair cognitive function, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities, and it can also affect mood and emotional regulation. ​ Additionally, sleep is important for the body's overall health and well-being. It helps to regulate the immune system, maintain physical health, and support proper growth and development. ​ Therefore, it is important for individuals with a brain injury to prioritize getting enough sleep in order to support their recovery process. This may involve establishing a consistent sleep routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and seeking medical treatment for any sleep-related issues. Are you having trouble falling asleep at night? Or difficulty staying asleep through the night? It can be challenging to know when to seek help or when you may have a sleep disorder that requires treatment. Read through the sleep assessment questions below to determine if visiting a sleep specialist is your best option. Do you have morning headaches? Are you unable to go to sleep and stay asleep at night? Have you been told you constantly snore or occasionally stop breathing when you sleep? Do you have trouble concentrating or fall asleep when you should generally be awake and alert? Do you experience a "creepy or crawling" sensation in your legs or arms while awake or at rest? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, talk with your primary care provider to receive an initial sleep assessment. ​ ​

These waivers provide a person-centered plan of care for an array of non-medical, home and community-based services to individuals with an acquired brain injury who currently receive or would otherwise require services in an institutional setting. Both waivers are functionally similar, however ABI Waiver II includes new services, has a lower cost cap and does not have Transitional Living Services. Note: ABI Waiver I is currently closed to new participants. Eligibility Criteria To be eligible for the ABI Waiver II, individuals must be: • Eligible for Medicaid • Between ages 18 and 64 with an acquired brain injury • Meet the DSS “Level of Care Requirement” which means that without the waiver services the individual would otherwise receive services in an institutional setting • Able to participate in the development of a service plan in partnership with a DSS social worker or have a conservator to do so. An ABI is an injury to the brain that has occurred after birth which results in improper brain function. The condition cannot be congenital, developmental, or degenerative to be considered for the ABI Waiver II. Med-Connect applicants may also meet the financial eligibility rules for the program through the Medicaid for Employed Disabled coverage group. Under the program, working individuals can have income up to $75,000 per year, $10,000 in assets and receive Medicaid subject to payment of a monthly premium. Individuals who cannot afford the cost of care, but are over Medicaid’s limits may still qualify. The state has a spend down program that evaluates an individual’s care costs and their income. If it is calculated that an individual cannot meet their care costs, they can qualify for Medicaid by spending-down their income over the limit on their medically-necessary care costs. Types of Services & Supports that can be used for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Services may include assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating, bathing, dressing, transferring and toileting. ​ Other supports include, but are not limited to: • Case management (care plan development and monitoring) • Transportation • Vocational support • Independent Living Skills training • Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Services • Homemaker-Companion Services • Respite Services • Home Delivered Meals • Assistive Technology • Home Modifications • Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) Connecticut Waiver Factsheet CT ABI Waiver II (1085.R01.00) Provides ABI group day, adult day health, homemaker, personal care, prevocational services, respite, supported employment, ABI recovery assistant II, ABI recovery assistant, assistive technology, chore, cognitive behavioral programs, community living support services, companion, consultation services, environmental accessibility modifications, home delivered meals, independent living skills training, personal emergency response systems, substance abuse programs, transportation, and vehicle modification services to individuals with brain injury ages 18 or older who meet a hospital, nursing facility, or ICF/IID level of care.

Medicaid ABI WAIVER PROGRAM 1 or ABI WAIVER PROGRAM 2 ​ The majority of Connecticut ABI Waiver Programs are Waiver 1 . Connecticut developed the Waiver 2 Program to provide new services, and stopped new enrollment for the ABI Waiver 1 . People receiving the benefits of Waiver 1 have been grandfathered into all of the benefits of Waiver 1 .

The most common reason families wish for Waiver 1 is the role of their Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and Service Care Plans. ​ On Waiver 1 , Service Care Plans are created and dictated by their CBT Cognitive behavioral Therapist. CBTs assess the needs of the individual and create the Service Care Plans. They decide what services are needed and when they will be implemented. Service Hours like Companion and ILST are directed by the CBT. On Waiver 2 , Service Types and and Hours are assessed and directed by the Case Manager. ​ Which one do you need?

CONSERVATORSHIP Often, the Probate Court will appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator. Sometimes the court will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. The court tries to determine whom the conserved person prefers but, if a conflict exists, may appoint an uninterested party. INVOLUNTARY ​ ​ ​ Any adult person may use this form to petition for the appointment of a conservator of an adult who is alleged to be incapable. A “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise the personal affairs of a person whom the court finds to be unable to meet essential requirements for personal needs, even with appropriate assistance. These needs may include but are not limited to, the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise the financial affairs of a person whom the court finds to be incapable of doing so to the extent that property will be wasted unless adequate property management is provided. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits. The petition may also request the appointment of a successor conservator. The person for whom the appointment of a conservatorship is being requested is referred to as the respondent. ​ VOLUNTARY ​ ​ Any adult person may use this form to petition the court to appoint a voluntary conservator of the person or estate to manage his or her personal or financial affairs, or both. A voluntary “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise personal affairs, such as the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A voluntary “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise financial affairs. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits.

In an involuntary conservatorship, a conservator is appointed only if the court determines that the individual is unable to care for him or herself, or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator on the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs, without making a finding that the individual is incapable. There are two kinds of conservators. A conservator of the person supervises personal affairs and ensures that the person's basic needs, including food, shelter, clothing and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for property, managing bank accounts and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income.

WHAT IS NEUROLOGY? WHAT IS A NEUROLOGIST? ​ ABI RESOURCES team members take directives from Neurologists. Neurology is the branch of medicine or biology that deals with the anatomy, functions, and organic disorders of nerves and the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as: ​ Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin, and other "sensory receptors" Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy Spinal cord disorders Speech and language disorders Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis Headache disorders Infections of the brain and peripheral nervous system Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) ​ Because the nervous system is complex, a neurologist may specialize in a specific area. There are many subspecialties. Some examples of subspecialties include: ​ headache medicine neuromuscular medicine neurocritical care neuro-oncology geriatric neurology autonomic disorders vascular (stroke care) child neurology intervention neuroradiology epilepsy ​ Neurologists do not perform surgery. If one of their patients requires surgery, they refer them to a neurosurgeon. ​ In the realm of internal medicine, the field of neurology holds a critical position, tasked with the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disorders which may affect the nervous system and peripheral nerves. After many years of medical school, followed by specialized training, neurologists become experts in understanding the electrical activity in the brain, and how this can impact various functions of the body such as muscle strength. ​ When a patient is suspected of having a disorder of the nervous system, an appointment with a neurologist is often arranged. During this consultation, the neurologist may propose a range of diagnostic tests, such as a lumbar puncture or electromyography (EMG). A lumbar puncture, often known as a spinal tap, can help detect conditions like meningitis or multiple sclerosis, while an EMG is used to analyze the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles, providing vital data on the health of these muscles and the nerve cells that control them. ​ Ultimately, neurologists diagnose and treat conditions by assessing symptoms, understanding the underlying electrical activity, and studying the physical manifestations of these disorders. Their work is instrumental in managing a range of neurologic disorders and ensuring patients can achieve the best possible quality of life. ​ Connecticut Home Healthcare Services ​ ​ ​
