Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are supportive services designed to help individuals, especially those with disabilities or chronic health conditions, live independently in their homes and communities rather than in institutions. These services can include personal care, therapy, meal assistance, transportation, and social activities. HCBS aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals by promoting autonomy, improving health, and preventing social isolation. By receiving care in familiar environments, people can maintain meaningful connections with their families and communities while meeting their daily living needs.
