Update on the discontinuation of the residential care waiver service

To keep you updated on the progress of the plan to discontinue the residential care waiver service, DHS created the CBSM — Discontinuation of residential care waiver service page. It outlines the progress made since July 2015. It also identifies key next steps for people who will be affected and who will need to transition to alternative waiver services

This change affects fewer than 200 people on the following waiver programs:

  • Brain Injury (BI)
  • Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI)
  • Elderly Waiver (EW).

The residential care waiver service does NOT include customized living, foster care or supported living services (SLS) waiver services.
