HOME (Home and Community-Based Services)

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are programs that provide support and care to individuals with disabilities or aging adults, allowing them to receive assistance in their own homes or community settings instead of institutional facilities. These services include help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transportation, and medication management. The goal is to promote independence, improve quality of life, and enable individuals to remain in familiar environments. HCBS are tailored to meet each person's needs and often coordinate medical, social, and personal care services to promote well-being and community integration.
