TX HHS Form 1042. Pre-Move Site Review

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Form 1042, Pre-Move Site Review, is designed to facilitate the transition or diversion of individuals from nursing facilities, medium or large community ICF/IID settings, or those receiving Home and Community-based Services (HCS) crisis diversion slots. This form serves as a crucial tool for service planning teams to ensure that essential supports are in place before transitioning or diverting an individual.

The Pre-Move Site Review assesses the suitability of a potential site by evaluating factors such as cleanliness, repair, and meeting the individual's identified needs. The form also solicits feedback from staff or family members regarding any concerns they may have about the site. This comprehensive review process helps to identify and resolve any issues before the transition or diversion takes place.

The Form 1042 is an essential tool for Texas HHS, as it enables service planning teams to reconvene and address any outstanding concerns before finalizing a plan. The Enhanced Community Coordination (ECC) coordinator plays a critical role in conducting pre-move site reviews and ensuring that all necessary supports are in place. By utilizing this form, the state of Texas can ensure that individuals receive the necessary care and support as they transition or divert from institutional settings to community-based services.
