The Independent Living Waiver is similar to the Consumer-Directed State Plan Personal Care program, requiring the same eligibility criteria be met and offering additional personal assistance services beyond the limitations of the state plan. Additional services available include environmental accessibility adaptations, specialized medical equipment and supplies, financial management services, and case management. The Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Senior and Disability Services administers this program.
