Connecticut Medicaid waiver programs may allow eligible individuals to receive services and supports in the community rather than in an institutional setting. The specific services available depend on the waiver program, assessment, eligibility requirements, care plan, service authorization, and funding source.
Services that may be approved
- ✓Homemaker support
- ✓Companion services
- ✓Personal care assistance
- ✓Respite support and other non-medical supports
Because waiver programs have specific rules, families should not assume that every service available through private pay is available through a waiver. Aides & Companions will follow the authorized care plan and applicable program requirements.
