Vanguard Landing (VGL)/Jordyn White
 

I am writing on behalf of my niece, Jordyn, to clarify two vital points regarding her care and the structure of her support services:Waiver Portability: Medicaid waiver services are legally allocated to the individual, not to a specific provider or location. We are requesting authorization for Jordyn to utilize her existing, individually funded waiver services at Vanguard Landing (VGL). This is a request for service portability for an individual recipient, not a request for the state to allocate new waivers directly to the organization.Proper Classification of the Community: Vanguard Landing is a community of homes. It is a residential neighborhood designed for community living. Please ensure that all records, communications, and assessments correctly refer to it as a community of homes, and strictly avoid classifying it as assisted living, a facility, a campus, or an institution.Thank you for your time, attention, and continued support in ensuring Jordyn receives her authorized care in her chosen community.
