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 designed to ensure continuity of care for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. This form helps solve the problem of ensuring that community settings meet specific criteria for providing necessary services and supports.

The form is typically used in situations where an individual is transitioning from one community setting to another, such as a residential setting or host home. The LIDDA staff conducts an on-site review to assess the potential site's suitability for the individual's needs. Key features of this form include required information about environmental and safety concerns, verification of services and supports, and a recommendation for interdisciplinary team (IDT) approval.

The form is completed by LIDDA staff and submitted to the State Supported Living Center (SSLC). The recommended community setting must meet specific criteria outlined in Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 904, Subchapter D, Section 904.105(b). Key points and requirements include:

• Verification of environmental and safety concerns
• Assessment of services and supports provided
• Recommendation for IDT approval based on meeting specific criteria
