What type of services does the home and community-based waiver provide?

Home and community-based waivers are designed to provide services and support to individuals who may need assistance to remain in their own homes and communities, particularly those who are elderly or have disabilities. The primary focus of these waivers is to facilitate independence and enhance the quality of life for participants by offering tailored support.

This includes assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, which are crucial for maintaining personal independence. Additionally, transportation services are often provided to help individuals attend medical appointments or engage in community activities, further promoting social interaction and well-being.

By focusing on these types of support, home and community-based waivers aim to reduce reliance on institutional care, allowing individuals to live in environments that are more familiar and comfortable to them. This approach aligns with person-centered care and seeks to maximize autonomy for those receiving services.
