The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA), P.L. 100-203, Section 4211 (c)(7), and OBRA 1990 contain provisions with major implications for persons with mental illness or mental retardation/related condition who are applying or residing in a nursing facility.  The provisions are designed to prevent inappropriate nursing facility placement of individuals with these identified concerns.

  • Applies to all persons residing in or requesting admission to a nursing facility
  • Determines if NF level of care is needed, if the NF is the least restrictive environment for the provision of services, and if specialized services are needed.
  • Specialized services can provide supports to enhance the person’s quality of life, increase independence, and promote community participation.
  • The program can also provide advocacy for persons’ without family members to fulfill that role.
