I would appreciate info from other agencies regarding the outcome of the DODD review and any helpful information in this area. Has anyone given a discharge notice because of issues with the guardian? ________________________________ From: list-manager@opra.simplelists.com [list-manager@opra.simplelists.com] on behalf of Than Johnson [TJohnson@CRSI-OH.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 11:38 AM To: 'Tammy Gaffney' Cc: opra_all_listserves@opra.simplelists.com Subject: RE: Appeal Process Tammy, Please pull up the âadmission/dischargeâ rule. The dates and length of process are important. Since this is not done very often, you may want to discuss process with DODD as to who will hear the appeal after you go through local process? Also, role of county SSA is represent the consumer, not the provider. Have your data on why you are giving the notice backed up with information on what you have tried to do to make it a successful admittance. If it is around behavior challenges, provide the BSP and attempts to implement it. If it is medical condition or ambulation change indicate environmental prohibition to the housing situation. We also try to offer alternative placement locations or a plan that could be successful, if funded.

The guardian is appealing this. We have never went through the appeal process and I was wondering what do we have to do on our part with this process? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
