Elderly & Disabled Waiver Program
Supporting elderly and disabled individuals in maintaining independence, safety, and quality of life in their own homes and communities.
Target Population
This program serves individuals aged 65 and older (or aged 21 and over with qualifying physical disabilities) who are functionally impaired and meet the Intermediate Nursing Home Level of Care (LOC) criteria. These individuals require support to remain safely in their homes and communities rather than being placed in a nursing facility.
Program Goal
The services provided through EDWP — delivered via the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) — aim to maintain or increase the functioning capacity of members at risk for nursing facility placement. Our focus is on promoting independence, ensuring safety, and enhancing quality of life while enabling individuals to remain in their preferred community settings.
