FAQ

Which Buncombe County organization helps someone move from a nursing home into community living?

Disability Partners specifically lists transitions from institutions to community-based living, along with independent-living skills training and peer support.

Can disability services be billed to North Carolina Medicaid?

Alberta Professional Services is enrolled directly with the North Carolina Division of Medical Assistance and lists Medicaid-eligible I/DD and community-living services. Disability Partners also lists Medicaid CAP and PCS in-home aide services.

Who handles accessible pedestrian signals and crossings for people with vision loss?

Accessible Design for the Blind provides research and consulting on accessible pedestrian signals, roundabouts, alternative intersections, and tactile walking surfaces. It is not a retail source for standalone APS hardware or a provider of routine in-home support.

Are these organizations appropriate for an emergency disability-support need?

The listed services are planned support, advocacy, consulting, residential or community programs, and mental-health services rather than emergency response. Call 911 for an immediate threat to health or safety.
