What We Are
The Medicaid Waiver Program is a long term alternative to nursing home placement that provide services enabling an individual to remain or to return to their homes.
Case Management includes the coordination of services that are individually planned and arranged for clients whose needs may be life-long. The practice of Case Management helps to avoid duplication and provision of unnecessary services and to assure a balance of services.
