If you do not get full-scope Medicaid—meaning the federal government does not help pay for your services—this program will help you get your local county government to pay. This will let you get health care and support services so that you can stay safely in your own home. This program can help you take care of your everyday needs with the following services:

  • Case management: A social service professional will work with you and your family to decide which services you will need so that you can stay at home.
  • Homemaking: This includes help with housework, laundry, shopping, and running errands.
  • Personal care: A service professional will help you with your daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
  • Meals: This gives you home-delivered meals and helps you with making meals at home.

How do I get help?
