They would also be responsible for distributing and collecting the required paperwork and signatures from the student and their family, entering the information into the database, filling out required paperwork, and submitting monthly billing. Nursing Home Transition Advocate
works with people in Illinois nursing homes that are between the ages of 18-59 who are able to move back into the community.

The advocate would also be responsible for providing continued supports for 90 days after the move. The advocate would be responsible for filling out all required paperwork and entering information into the appropriate database. Both roles are Full Time (40 hours per week) and have a salary between $42,000-$45,000 (depending on experience) with full benefits (health, vision, and dental) for the employee.
