Home and Community-Based Waivers

Home and Community-Based Waivers are programs that allow individuals with disabilities or complex health needs to receive certain services outside of nursing homes or hospitals, enabling them to live at home or in community settings. These waivers fund support such as personal care, therapy, and assistance with daily activities, promoting independence. By using these waivers, people can access necessary care tailored to their needs while staying in familiar environments, often improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs. Each state manages its own waiver programs, which are approved by the federal government.
