Supporting alternate level of care patients with a dual diagnosis to transition from hospital to home: vignette series
|
|
|
|
The journey from hospital to home can be a significant challenge, especially for individuals with a dual diagnosis, which means they have both a developmental disability and a psychiatric condition. This group faces a higher risk of being designated as Alternate Level of Care (ALC). An ALC designation is given when patients no longer require hospital-level care but remain there, sometimes for extended stays, due to a lack of appropriate community settings and support. This situation not only adversely affects the ALC patient but also results in delays for other patients in need of hospital resources.
Each image below introduces you to the story of an individual with a dual diagnosis who experienced an ALC hospitalization and successfully transitioned to living in the community. Through their experiences and those of their families, we can understand some of the obstacles they faced and the strategies that paved the way to a successful transition.

“We were fortunate to have a lot of angels in our corner surrounding us with what I wanted to see for my son and setting him up for success. Not the norm, but it is his norm.”
– Denise, Taydon’s mother

![Meet John and the Acosta family]()
|
|
“Until you are in that situation, you don’t realize there is not much out there. And you can’t plan for it. John being in a home was not part of our parents’ plan or the route we wanted to take. But you have to be open to changing your mind. We all wanted what was best for John to lead a self-fulfilling life.”
- Isabelle, John’s sister

![Meet Amanda and her parents Robert and Sarah]()
|
|
"It took more than a year for Amanda to move into her apartment finally. The barriers we faced included insufficient expertise in developmental disabilities within the hospital staff, lack of a centralized process to find housing, and delays getting the budget approved."
- Sarah, Amanda’s stepmom
