Medicaid Waiver Program
The Maryland Medical Assistance Home and Community Based Waiver for Older Adults (commonly known as the Waiver for Older Adults or Medicaid Waiver) provides services in the community to low-income adults who would otherwise require nursing home placement. The program provides individuals with the opportunity to obtain needed services in their home or an assisted living facility. In-home services available are: personal care, respite, environmental assessments & modifications, behavior consultation services, personal emergency response systems, home delivered meals, diet and nutritional services, family and consumer training, and non-emergency medical transportation.
