TX HHS Form 8630. Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authority (LIDDA) Continuity of Care

The TX HHS Form 8630, Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authority (LIDDA) Continuity of Care, is a pre-move site review instrument used to assess the suitability of a community setting for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. This form helps ensure continuity of care by evaluating potential sites for placement based on specific criteria outlined in Texas Administrative Code Chapter 904.

The form requires information about the potential site, including its address, administrator or manager's name and provider agency, as well as the type of community setting (e.g., residential support services). The instrument also assesses environmental and safety concerns that may impact an individual's identified needs. Key features include sections for reviewing ICFIIID items or issues, verifying services and supports, and documenting the site administrator's or manager's responses.

This form should be used during the community living discharge plan process to ensure a smooth transition from institutional care to community-based settings. The LIDDA staff conducting the on-site review must submit their findings and recommendations to the State Supported Living Center (SSLC). By completing this form, providers can demonstrate compliance with Texas regulations and ensure that individuals receive the necessary services and supports to achieve their desired outcomes.
