RES Day Program

Your voice matters! As a medical facility who serves patients that rely on the non-emergency medical transportation benefit (NEMT) to get to and from their appointments, you can appreciate the lifeline that this critical benefit provides to those who need it most. We desperately need your help to protect this life saving benefit. Specifically, The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is considering publishing a rule that would allow for states to choose whether or... not they want to provide transportation to the Medicaid population, which would put these vulnerable patients (our members) at risk. If this comes to pass, many medically fragile individuals will be left without transportation which could impact the health outcomes of your patients as well as your business. Given the critical role NEMT can play in a healthcare crisis, some of our strongest supporters in Congress believe now is the time to protect this critical benefit once and for all. We have have attached a document with directions to submit a letter to Congress in order to preserve the non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) benefit. In order to make sure this benefit is protected, I encourage you and your employees to take five minutes to visit the MTAC website, follow the enclosed instructions, and submit a letter to Congress to preserve NEMT. We can do this together. Thank you.

Good Morning! As some of you are aware, SDP is going to have two remotely online classes (to start with). History class starting on Monday April 6th at 10:00am followed by a second class Current Events & Wellness at 11:15am where participants will be kept up to date on the virus and safety procedures such as washing hands and similar wellness related topics. The same two classes will also be featured on Tuesday April 7th for those that are unable to attend Mondays.... As we do these classes it is our hope to slowly build and eventually offer even more class options. The first official class is History on Monday 4/6/2020 at 10:00am followed by Current Events & Wellness class at 11:15am. Participants whom are using a tablet just have to click this link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/4616253089 at 10:00am which will prompt participants to the app store to download ‘ZOOM Cloud Meeting’ if they do not have it already.

SDP is currently in the planning stages of putting together remotely online classes bringing our service to the virtual world. It is exciting and also brand new to us here as it will be for our participants. The hope is to bring the best of our service right to the comfort of the participant’s home until the pandemic slows and everyone can go back to physically being in Structured Day Program. What will the participant need? As long as each has a computer/tablet with internet... access then they are ready to sign up. If they do not have the capability then RES will help the best we can by providing those with a Tablet so they can partake in the classes. We are looking to test the waters on this by having our first test class on Friday April 3rd at 11:15am. With remote classes participants will be able to login right into the class using the app/platform ZOOM where you will see a live video of the Instructor teaching. There is also chatting capability so everyone can communicate and ask typed out questions. We will also be able to hear everyone speaking as well to allow for group discussions and socialization for those unable to use the typing chat feature. Those interested should let their SC’s, Community Staff and SDP know, no later than Wednesday April 1st that they would like be a part in the testing of this feature on Friday April 3rd at 11:15am. The link to the test class that clients will need is: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/4616253089 which will prompt participants to the app store to download Zoom (unless using a desktop computer). From there they just have to put their name in and join. Please be sure to check RES Day Program FB page for any class updates. That page can be viewed at www.facebook.com/resdayprogramli If all goes as planned SDP is going to have two classes (to start with). History class starting on Monday April 6th at 10:00am followed by a second class Current Events & Wellness at 11:15am where clients will be kept up to date on the virus and safety procedures such as washing hands and similar wellness related topics. The same two classes will also be featured on Tuesday April 7th for those that are unable to attend Mondays. We will continue doing these classes every week until further notice. As we do these classes it is our hope to slowly build and eventually offer even more class options.
