    Our Individual Options Waiver care services

    By helping with daily activities, our caregivers enable clients to maintain their normal daily routines. The Individual Options Waiver is one of four HCBS waiver programs available in the state, allowing people with chronic conditions and/or disabilities to have more control over the care they receive, opting to receive care in their own homes or in community settings rather than in institutions or hospitals. In turn, these individuals can often remain more active in their communities and enjoy a greater quality of life.
