Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are programs that provide support and care to individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions, helping them live independently in their own homes or communities. These services can include personal care assistance, therapy, job training, and support with daily activities. HCBS aims to offer an alternative to institutional care, emphasizing dignity and quality of life by enabling individuals to participate fully in community life. Funded by Medicaid, these services are tailored to meet each person's needs, promoting independence and reducing reliance on nursing homes or hospitals.
