CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Disabled Rights Action Committee is a case management provider for the New Choices Waiver (NCW) program sponsored by the Utah Department of Health. This program is designed to (1) help eligible persons move out of nursing facility settings and reestablish themselves in a community-based setting, and (2) help eligible assisted living residents remain in their community. The program is open to Medicaid recipients who currently live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
REVIEWS
“You guys are great!!!” — T.M,, Salt Lake City UT 
“Considering the ‘shut down’ and other difficulties that occurred with the pandemic these past six months, DRAC did a great job in working and advocating my release from [nursing home] to get me back home to my apartment. Everyone who helped was kind and respectful. These character traits are sure appreciated by us elderly people who are sometimes nervous about what will happen. Thank you.” — P.B., South Jordan UT
