Programs
Service Payments for the Elderly and Disabled (SPED) Program
Provides services for people who are older or physically disabled and who have difficulty completing tasks that enable them to live independently at home.
Expanded Service Payments for the Elderly and Disabled (Ex-SPED) Program
Pays for in-home and community-based services for people who would otherwise receive care in a licensed basic care facility.
Medicaid State Plan - Personal Care Services
Helps people with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, preparing meals, housework and laundry so they can continue to live in their homes and communities.
This waiver from the federal government allows the state to use Medicaid funds to provide services enabling eligible individuals who would otherwise require nursing home services to remain in their homes or communities.
These services, which include health maintenance, home-delivered meals, transportation, and other services, enhance the ability of older individuals to maintain their independence and to remain in their own homes and communities.
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) offers a full range of health care and in-home services to people age 55 and older to stay healthy and independent as long as possible.
