Discover Together: Building Connections Through Conversation Descubra su pregunta CLICK THE BUTTON FOR YOUR QUESTION Then both people answer and discuss. En ABI Resources , defendemos el poder de la conexión y la conversación para fomentar el crecimiento personal y fortalecer las relaciones. Con nuestro compromiso inquebrantable con el bienestar integral de aquellos a quienes servimos, nos complace presentar un enfoque enriquecedor diseñado para profundizar los vínculos entre nuestros asesores de vida y las personas a quienes apoyan. El corazón del diálogo: Nuestra nueva iniciativa, "Discover Together", invita tanto a los coaches de vida como a los clientes a embarcarse en un viaje de descubrimiento mutuo. Al introducir preguntas que invitan a la reflexión en las conversaciones, creamos un espacio para la reflexión, la comprensión y el crecimiento compartidos. Este intercambio recíproco no se trata sólo de buscar respuestas sino de fomentar una conexión más profunda a través de la exploración de las diversas facetas de la vida. Cómo se desarrolla: "Discover Together" opera bajo una premisa simple pero profunda: durante las sesiones, nuestros asesores de vida presentarán una pregunta cuidadosamente seleccionada para provocar la reflexión. Luego, tanto el entrenador como el individuo explorarán sus pensamientos y sentimientos sobre el tema, compartiendo sus perspectivas y conocimientos. Esta práctica está diseñada no sólo para fomentar el autodescubrimiento sino también para mejorar la dinámica relacional entre el coach y el cliente. Beneficios del descubrimiento compartido: Comprensión mejorada: este viaje compartido hacia la reflexión personal fomenta una comprensión más profunda de uno mismo y de los demás, promoviendo la empatía y la compasión. Vínculos fortalecidos: al participar en conversaciones significativas, los asesores de vida y los clientes construyen relaciones más sólidas y de confianza, sentando las bases para un crecimiento personal significativo. Conversaciones empoderadas: estos diálogos empoderan a ambas partes para expresarse abiertamente, creando un ambiente de apoyo donde la vulnerabilidad se enfrenta con comprensión. Perspectivas diversas: discutir una amplia gama de temas enriquece la experiencia del coaching, ofreciendo nuevos conocimientos y perspectivas que pueden iluminar nuevos caminos hacia el crecimiento. Alegría en el descubrimiento: Encontrar alegría en el proceso de exploración mutua puede mejorar significativamente el bienestar tanto del entrenador de vida como del individuo, fomentando un sentido de conexión y humanidad compartida. Un camino compartido hacia el crecimiento: "Descubrir Juntos" es más que una iniciativa; es un reflejo de nuestra creencia fundamental en el poder transformador de la conexión. A través de este enfoque, nuestro objetivo es crear momentos de interacción genuina que conduzcan a conocimientos profundos y vínculos duraderos. Al priorizar el diálogo y el entendimiento mutuo, no solo facilitamos el crecimiento personal sino que también cultivamos un ambiente donde la felicidad y la conexión prosperan. Únase a nosotros en este viaje: Lo invitamos a experimentar el enfoque "Descubrir juntos", donde cada conversación es una oportunidad para profundizar las conexiones y descubrir más sobre nosotros mismos y los demás. Abracemos este viaje de reflexión y crecimiento compartido, creando relaciones más significativas y enriqueciendo nuestras vidas en el proceso. Juntos, descubrimos. Este enfoque enfatiza la importancia del diálogo y la construcción de relaciones dentro de la comunidad de ABI Resources, destacando cómo la reflexión mutua puede servir como una herramienta poderosa para el crecimiento y la conexión personal.

¿Qué es el Programa MFP y qué hace? El programa MFP ayuda a una persona con la financiación y la organización de la mudanza fuera de un centro médico. Ayuda a conseguir vivienda, artículos de primera necesidad, equipo médico y cuidadores temporales en el hogar. MFP es una subvención federal de demostración, recibida por el Departamento de Servicios Sociales de CT de los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid. Se otorgó para ayudar a reequilibrar el sistema de atención a largo plazo para que las personas tengan la máxima independencia y libertad de elección con respecto a dónde vivir y recibir atención y servicios. El programa se basa en programas actuales al ofrecer servicios comunitarios mejorados y apoyo a quienes han residido en centros de enfermería durante al menos tres meses. Bajo MFP, CT recibirá, para aquellos que regresen a la comunidad, una contrapartida mejorada de Medicaid de nueve millones de dólares durante cinco años, y se les reembolsará el 75 por ciento de los costos durante el primer año de regreso a la comunidad en lugar del 50 por ciento habitual. Este apoyo federal es un incentivo financiero para que Connecticut reduzca el uso de atención institucional más costosa para los beneficiarios de Medicaid. El enfoque es más rentable para los contribuyentes y se espera que conduzca a una mejor calidad de vida para los adultos mayores y las personas con discapacidades físicas y del desarrollo y enfermedades mentales. Las personas que regresan a la comunidad tienen la opción de elegir dónde quieren vivir, ya sea en su propia casa, en la casa de un miembro de su familia, en un apartamento o en una vivienda colectiva. Objetivos del MFP Aumentar el dinero gastado en servicios domiciliarios y comunitarios. Aumentar el porcentaje de personas que reciben sus servicios a largo plazo en la comunidad en relación con aquellas en instituciones. Disminuir el número de altas hospitalarias a centros de enfermería para quienes requieren atención después del alta. Incrementar la probabilidad de que las personas regresen a la comunidad dentro de los primeros tres meses de su ingreso a una institución. Hacer la transición de las personas fuera de las instituciones y de regreso a la comunidad. Los planes de atención individualizados se crean en función de las necesidades. Los coordinadores de transición de CCCI brindarán asistencia personalizada con apoyos comunitarios, navegación del sistema, acceso a recursos y arreglos de vivienda.

( Conserv atorship ) What is a Conse rvator? A conservator is a person appointed by the Probate Court to oversee the financial or personal affairs of an adult. In an involuntary conservatorship, a conservator is appointed only if the court determines that the individual is unable to c are for him or herself or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator at the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs without making finding that the individual is incapable. There are two kinds of conservators. A conservator of the person supervises personal affairs and ensures that the person's basic n eeds, including food, shelter, clothing, and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for the property, managing bank accounts, and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income. Often, the Probate Court will appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator. Sometimes the court will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. The court tries to determine whom the conserved person prefers but, if a conflict exists, may appoint an uninterested party.
