The Office of Aging and Adult Services OAAS administers home and community based long-term care services HCBS through various waiver and state plan programs for individuals who are elderly or have disabilities, assisting them to remain in their homes and in the community.
The intent of these HCBS programs is to provide services and supports that are not otherwise available and that assist an individual to remain in or return to the community. These programs do not individually or in combination provide hour-per-day supports. This means that in many cases it may be necessary and desirable for individuals to use other paid and unpaid supports at their disposal.
Based on a standardized assessment, each recipient is provided a budget based on acuity to create an individual service package. The CCW contains a wide array of services including: support coordination, nursing and skilled therapy assessments and services, in-home monitoring systems, home modifications and assistive technologies, personal care, home-delivered meals, monitored in-home caregiving, and caregiver respite.
