These facilities and providers include nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, long-term care hospitals, intermediate facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs/MR) and other entities that provide long-term care services. The State Office of the Governor and/or the State Survey Agency may apply for funding under this grant opportunity. Additionally, this opportunity is open to any of the following agencies, provided the agency has an agreement with the State Survey Agency for the conduct of this demonstration: State Medicaid Agency State Attorney General?s Office State Health Departments State Identification Bureau (SIB) State Social Services Block Grant Recipients State Control Terminal Agency (CTA) We strongly encourage State agencies to work collaboratively to develop one solicitation packet for an individual State. Only one program per State may be selected.
