Home and Community-Based services
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) offers Medicaid beneficiaries the chance to receive personal care and support services in their own homes or community settings instead of institutional or isolated environments.

- Culturally responsive: Spiritual and cultural activities and support available
- Familiarity: Patient enjoys the comfort of their own home or small residential facility in the community
- Can provide counseling or clergy to assist with bereavement
- Some waivers permit family members to be paid caregivers
