Medicaid Waiver???

The Medicaid Waiver program allows seniors and individuals with disabilities to receive care services at home or in the community instead of moving into a nursing facility.

Medicaid Waiver Services provide in-home support like personal care, meal help, light housekeeping, and respite services to help people live safely and independently in their own homes.

Individuals who meet Medicaid’s financial eligibility, need daily care support, and qualify for nursing facility level of care may be eligible for Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver programs.

Coverage varies by program and needs but often pays for approved care services at home, reducing or eliminating the out-of-pocket cost for seniors and their families.
