Home Health Programs
We provide in-home care services under the Aged and Disabled Waiver Program, the Personal Care Program, private pay, Veterans Administration services, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Take Me Home Transition Program.
Programs
Aged & Disabled Waiver and Personal Care: These two programs are state run and require the participant to meet medical and financial eligibility. Once approved, a state nurse will visit and complete an assessment and determine the level of services approved. Once this has taken place, you have the option to choose a home care agency and a Case Management agency (for ADW) to provide your services. Only the ADW program allows for Skilled Nursing services providing a registered nurse to assess your needs and supervise your care.
TBI Waiver: this service is provided to an individual at least 3 years of age with a traumatic brain injury that is non-degenerative and non- congenital. The participant must also meet the financial eligibility requirements.
Take Me Home Transition Program: this program serves individuals that have been a resident in a nursing facility, hospital, or institution for mental illness, or a combination of any of the 3 for at least 90 consecutive days and receive Medicaid benefits. The individual chooses to move to a “qualified residence” and out of the facility.
Private Pay: this allows a family/individual to pay out-of-pocket for in-home care services. This services is like the others as it provides personal care to the individual in the home setting.
VA Services: these services provide the same in-home care as the other programs but are arranged through the VA and assigned to the agency of choice that has aligned with the VA program
