Home and community-based services (HCBS) are Medicaid-funded supports that help people with disabilities and older adults live at home and in their communities rather than in institutions.
Services may include personal care, respite, home modifications, supported employment, and community living supports. Eligibility rules and available services depend on the specific program.
Some programs have waiting lists. It is often worth applying early even if you do not need services right away.
Your local community mental health agency, area agency on aging, or a benefits counselor can help you understand which programs you might qualify for.
This guide is marked "Needs Update" while MittenLink reviews recent program changes. Always confirm details with official sources.
