There really is no place like home

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) operates under a Home and Community-Based Waiver (1915c) granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This Waiver permits the Division of Medical Assistance to use Title XIX funds to purchase services for CCSP members who meet program requirements. The Community Care Services Program assists individuals who are older and/or functionally impaired to continue living in their own homes and communities as an alternative to nursing home placement. Individuals served by the program are required to meet the same level of care for admission to a nursing facility and be Medicaid eligible or potentially Medicaid eligible
