Waiver programs are Medicaid programs that allow individuals with disabilities and long-term care needs to receive services in their homes or communities instead of in a nursing facility. These programs are designed to help individuals remain independent and active in their communities.
The state of Nevada offers a number of waiver programs, including:
- Community First Choice (CFC) Waiver: This waiver allows individuals to choose their own home care provider and receive services in their homes instead of a nursing facility.
- Skilled Nursing Facility Transition (SNF-T) Waiver: This waiver provides services to individuals who are transitioning from a nursing facility to their homes.
- Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Waiver: This waiver is a new program that is still under development. It is designed to provide long-term care services to individuals who are not eligible for Medicaid.
