R Briggs is a 69-year-old woman who lived in the Plaza Rehab nursing home. She went into hospice care as a result of her multiple illnesses. After a series of care, she went back to the nursing home. BILS opened a case for her.
“My faith and willpower saved me by bringing me back to good health,” said Briggs.
Despite her desire and willpower to live independently in the community, Rosalyn was hesitant due to the lack of informal support. Her family lives far away and could not always be there. She also struggled with anxiety.
Our Transition Specialist connected Rosalyn with the Olmstead Housing Subsidy (OHS) program. Through OHS, she was able to find an apartment. She secured home care. Rosalyn moved into her apartment with all the support she needed in October 2022.
“I’m 1,000%…1,000,000,000% grateful to Lisa and the whole team for helping me get to where I am today. I am truly blessed,” said Briggs.
