Medicaid Waiver Services

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers are Medicaid options that allow individuals to receive services in their homes or the community as an alternative to institutional care. The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) operates HCBS programs so that individuals who meet the level of care for services in an Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities can receive services while residing in their own home, family home, or community group home.
