The Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program is a Medicaid home and community-based waiver services program that provides community-based social, health, and support services to eligible consumers as an alternative to placement in a nursing home.

We also offer the following:

• Independent Care Waiver Program (ICWP)This program offers services that help a limited number of adult Medicaid members with physical disabilities live in their homes or the community instead of a hospital or nursing home.

Elders commonly sustain this type of injury due to falling. While recovering from this type of injury, it can be dangerous to leave the patient alone. For this reason, we are here to provide our services. As a member of the Brain Injury Association (www.biami.org), we will make sure that the patient is safe and fully comfortable while they are recovering from their injury.
