Transitioning People Out of Nursing Homes with Access 2 Independence

Access 2 Independence (A2I) in a Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Columbus, Georgia. We will hear from A2I’s Director Kirk Holcombe about their work transitioning people out of nursing homes so that they can live independently and on their own terms. Not only does this program restore autonomy and dignity to the people transitioning, but getting more people out of nursing homes actually saves the state money in the long run. We will also hear from Donna Greene about how A2I provided her with a ramp so that she could safely get in and out of her home. And former A2I employee Rashad Jones with a vision impairment, who became an A2I consumer when he needed help relocating to the west coast for a new job.
