Home and Community-Based Services

Home and Community-Based Services stands as one of Medicaid's most extensive waiver programs, catering to individuals diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) or related conditions. To be eligible, recipients must meet Medicaid criteria and reside in either their family home or their personal residence.

This program plays a pivotal role in supporting individuals with IDD, allowing them to receive essential services within the comfort and familiarity of their homes. Rather than institutionalizing individuals with these diagnoses, it empowers them to maintain a sense of belonging within their communities and nurtures their independence while ensuring access to necessary care and support. In doing so, it promotes a higher quality of life and a more inclusive society.
