Home and Community-Based Services

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are support programs that help individuals with disabilities or aging adults live independently in their homes and communities. These services can include personal care, medical assistance, companionship, transportation, and help with daily tasks. HCBS aim to provide a quality of life similar to living in a facility but within familiar surroundings, promoting autonomy and community engagement. Funded by government programs, they reduce the need for institutional care, offering personalized support tailored to each person's needs, preferences, and goals.
