Project Description: |

|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
Increase general revenu (cia Tobacco settlement turst fund) to draw down additional Federal Medicaid waiver funding to reduce the statewide waiting lit of 1,657 seriously disabled adults (as of 10/00) age 18-59 who require a few hours a week of in-home care in order to avoid out of home placement. Typical services include cooking, shopping, cleaning, personal care and case management, at a monthly per person cost of $458. Medicaid waiver clients are nursing home eligible. This program mirrors the Home and Community Based Services Waiver of the Community Care for the Elderly program but serves adults age 18-59. |
