W HAT IS NEUROLOGY? WHAT IS A NEUROLOGIST? A neurologist can help with brain injury recovery by providing a diagnosis, developing a treatment plan, and coordinating care. This may include prescribing medications to manage symptoms, providing referrals for physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and monitoring progress over time. They may also order imaging studies such as CT or MRI scans, to help understand the extent of the injury and plan treatment. Additionally, they may also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, that can help optimize recovery. There are several ways to find a neurologist, including: Ask your primary care physician for a referral: Your primary care doctor may be able to recommend a neurologist who is well-suited to your needs. Search online directories: Many professional medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Neurology, have online directories of neurologists in your area. Check with your insurance provider: Your insurance provider may have a list of in-network neurologists that you can choose from. Check with your local hospital or medical center: Many hospitals and medical centers have neurologists on staff, who may be able to provide a referral. Search online review sites: you can check online review sites such as Yelp, Healthgrades, or Google reviews to see the feedback from other patients. It is important to note that it is always good to verify the credentials of the neurologist, such as education, training, and certification. ABI Resources team members take directives from Neurologists. Neurology is the branch of medicine or biology that deals with the anatomy, functions, and organic disorders of nerves and the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. A doctor who specializes in neurology is called a neurologist. The neurologist treats disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, such as: Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord Peripheral nervous system: all other neural elements, such as eyes, ears, skin, and other "sensory receptors" Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy Spinal cord disorders Speech and language disorders Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis Headache disorders Infections of the brain and peripheral nervous system Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) Because the nervous system is complex, a neurologist may specialize in a specific area. There are many subspecialties. Some examples of subspecialties include: headache medicine neuromuscular medicine neurocritical care neuro-oncology geriatric neurology autonomic disorders vascular (stroke care) child neurology intervention neuroradiology epilepsy Neurologists do not perform surgery. If one of their patients requires surgery, they refer them to a neurosurgeon. In the realm of internal medicine, the field of neurology holds a critical position, tasked with the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disorders which may affect the nervous system and peripheral nerves. After many years of medical school, followed by specialized training, neurologists become experts in understanding the electrical activity in the brain, and how this can impact various functions of the body such as muscle strength. When a patient is suspected of having a disorder of the nervous system, an appointment with a neurologist is often arranged. During this consultation, the neurologist may propose a range of diagnostic tests, such as a lumbar puncture or electromyography (EMG). A lumbar puncture, often known as a spinal tap, can help detect conditions like meningitis or multiple sclerosis, while an EMG is used to analyze the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles, providing vital data on the health of these muscles and the nerve cells that control them. Ultimately, neurologists diagnose and treat conditions by assessing symptoms, understanding the underlying electrical activity, and studying the physical manifestations of these disorders. Their work is instrumental in managing a range of neurologic disorders and ensuring patients can achieve the best possible quality of life. Connecticut Home Healthcare Service s

What is the MFP Program and what does it do? The MFP program helps a person with the funding and organization of moving out of a medical facility. It helps with setting up housing, necessities, medical equipment and temporary in home caregivers. MFP is a federal demonstration grant, received by the CT Department of Social Services from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to help rebalance the long-term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice regarding where they live and receive care and services. The program builds on current programs by offering enhanced community services and support to those who have resided in nursing facilities for at least three months. Under MFP, CT will receive, for those transitioning back to the community, an enhanced Medicaid match of nine million dollars over five years, being reimbursed for 75 percent of costs for the first year back in the community instead of the customary 50 percent. This federal support is a financial incentive for Conn. to reduce the use of more expensive institutional care for Medicaid recipients. The approach is more cost-effective for taxpayers and is expected to lead to improved quality of life for older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental illness. People transitioning back into the community have the choice of where they want to live, whether it’s the person’s own home, a family member’s home, an apartment or congregate living. Goals of the MFP Increase dollars spent on home and community based services. Increase the percent of people receiving their long-term services in the community relative to those in institutions. Decrease the number of hospital discharges to nursing facilities for those requiring care after discharge. Increase the probability of people returning to the community within the first three months of admission to an institution Transition individuals out of institutions and back into the community Individualized care plans are created based on need. CCCI transition coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with community supports, system navigation, accessing resources and living arrangements.

CONSERVATORSHIP 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. INVOLUNTARY Any adult person may use this form to petition for the appointment of a conservator of an adult who is alleged to be incapable. A “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise the personal affairs of a person whom the court finds to be unable to meet essential requirements for personal needs, even with appropriate assistance. These needs may include but are not limited to, the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise the financial affairs of a person whom the court finds to be incapable of doing so to the extent that property will be wasted unless adequate property management is provided. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits. The petition may also request the appointment of a successor conservator. The person for whom the appointment of a conservatorship is being requested is referred to as the respondent. VOLUNTARY Any adult person may use this form to petition the court to appoint a voluntary conservator of the person or estate to manage his or her personal or financial affairs, or both. A voluntary “conservator of the person” is appointed to supervise personal affairs, such as the need for food, clothing, shelter, health care, and safety. A voluntary “conservator of the estate” is appointed to supervise financial affairs. This may include but is not limited to, actions to obtain and manage assets, income, and public assistance benefits. The petition may also request the appointment of a successor conservator. 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 care for him or herself, or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator on the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs, without making a 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 needs, including food, shelter, clothing and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for property, managing bank accounts and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income. Conservators and people who are interested in being conservators can find more information by clicking on the link, Conservators.
