In-Home Services
MAC offers a variety of services designed to help people age in place (remain in their homes).
Home and Community-Based Options Program (Waiver)
The Community Options (CO) Waiver provides community services and support to enable older adults and people with physical disabilities to live in their own homes.
The CO Waiver program is for individuals 18 and older. Applicants are from nursing homes and the CO waiver registry list. This program will help transition an individual from a nursing facility back to the community with support services in place. There are a variety of services offered including personal care assistance, nurse monitoring, personal emergency devices and home delivered meals.
Eligibility:
- Clients must be in a nursing facility on Long-Term Care Medical Assistance in order to apply.
- There is also a waiver registry list (please call Maryland Access Point MAP at 410-742-0505 for more information).
- Clients must be medically and financially eligible.
Maryland’s Community First Choice option provides community services and support to enable older adults and people with disabilities to live in their own homes. Most clients will receive personal care services, nurse monitoring, and home delivered meals. There are many additional servies that are available if approved and enrolled in the program.
Eligibility:
- There is no age requirement.
- Clients must have community Medicaid and must be medically eligible.
Community Personal Assistance Services (CPAS) is very limited with services and only offers personal care, nurse monitoring and support planning. It is for individuals who receive a lesser level of care than the Community Options and Community First Choice programs.
Eligibility:
- There is no age requirement.
- Clients must have community Medicaid and must be medically eligible.
Senior Care
The primary goal of the Senior Care Program is to provide services that will support aging in place, keeping seniors living in their own home, and at a lower cost than a long-term care facility.
Services vary according to need, but may include personal care, light housekeeping chores, emergency response systems and case management services.
Following completion of an assessment, a case manager will create a plan of care, based on the client’s needs and wishes, and what services and funds are available.
Eligibility:
- Clients must be age 65 or older.
- Meet income and medical guidelines.
Medication Assistance Program
The Medication Assistance Program is a one-time only assistance, funded through a private foundation, to help those who can’t afford medication. Clients are then encouraged to seek counseling from a Medicare specialist on enrolling in a medication assistance program.
Eligibility:
- Clients must be age 50 or older.
- A resident of Wicomico County.
