Respite Care is a service that provides periodic relief for the
family or primary caregiver. In order to be considered the
primary caregiver, a person must be principally responsible for
the care and supervision of the individual, and must maintain
their primary residence at the same address as the covered
individual. This service may be provided in the individual's home or in an
out-of-home setting.
Personal Care includes support, supervision and
engaging participation with eating, bathing, personal
hygiene and other activities of daily living. Support and
engaging consumer participation is non-habilitative and
describes the flexibility of activities that may encourage
the person to maintain skills gained during active treatment and/or habilitation
while also providing supervision for independent activities of the consumer.
This service may include assistance with preparation of meals, but does not
include the cost of the meals themselves.
Crisis Services provide one additional staff support
person for supervision for the CAP-MR/DD waiver
recipient, as needed during an acute crisis situation
so that the recipient can continue to participate in
his/her daily routine during periods of time in which
the person is presenting episodes of unmanageable and/or inappropriate
behaviors that require specialized staff intervention. An individual may display
extreme, maladaptive behaviors that are not anticipated, are temporary in
nature, and are beyond the daily behaviors that are addressed through other
supports. Crises of this nature may be due to medication changes, reaction
to family stress, or other trauma. By providing this service, an imminent
institutional admission may be avoided while protecting the person from
harming themselves(s) or others. Crisis services are provided for periods of
up to 14 consecutive days per episode.
Home and Community Support is a service designed to meet
the habilitation and support needs of individuals living in their
own home or their family's home. Home and Community
Supports services provide instruction and assistance to enable
the individual to acquire and maintain skills that will allow him/her
to function with greater independence in the community. Home and
Community Support provides habilitation, training and instruction coupled
with elements of support, supervision and engaging participation to reflect the
natural flow of training, practice of skills, and other activities as they occur
during the course of the person's day.
Residential Supports provides assistance with
acquisition, retention, or improvement in skills
related to activities of daily living, such as personal
grooming and cleanliness, bed making and
household chores, eating and preparation of food,
and the social and adaptive skills necessary to enable the individual to reside
in a non-institutional setting. Habilitation, training, and instruction are coupled
with elements of support, supervision, and engaging participation to reflect
the natural flow of training, practice of skills and other activities as they occur
during the course of the person's day.

Supported Employment is paid employment for
persons with developmental disabilities for whom
competitive employment at or above minimum
wage is unlikely and who, because of the severity of
their disabilities, need intensive ongoing support to
perform in a work environment. This does not prohibit an individual in any way
from being paid at or above minimum wage. Supported employment is
conducted in a variety of settings; particularly work sites in which persons
without disabilities are employed. Supported Employment includes activities
needed to sustain paid work by individuals receiving waiver services,
including supervision and training.
The purpose of this service is to enhance the
decision making capacity of the family unit, provide
orientation regarding the nature and impact of the
developmental disability upon the individual and
his/her family, provide information about community
integration options and strategies, provide education and training on
intervention strategies, and provide education and training on the use of
specialized equipment and supplies. Updates are included to maintain the
person safely at home.
