In Champaign County, the CRIS Healthy-Aging Center coordinates the Money Management program and has developed the BRIDGE Transitions program in cooperation with area hospitals. The Money Management Program is for limited income senior citizens who need help managing their finances. The goal is to assist low income older adults, promote independent living and prevent unnecessary nursing home placement, guardianship or homelessness. The Bridge Transition Program provides professionals who are based in the hospital and provides tools to help clients manage their health care, eases transition from the hospital to home, which reduces hospital readmissions and emergency department visits.
