Home Care for Disabled Adults provides assistance for home care services for disabled adults in family-type living arrangements in private homes.
Who is eligible?
Home Care for Disabled Adults provides assistance and services to adults, ages 18-59, who have permanent physical or mental limitations that restrict their ability to perform the normal activities of daily living and that impede their capacity to live independently or with relatives or friends without the provision of community-based services. The program provides funds to assist with home care services for people who would be income-eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or for the Medicaid ICP program.
What services are provided?
Home Care for Disabled Adults supplements the care provided in recipients’ homes through a basic subsidy to assist with expenses, based upon financial need; a subsidy for uninsured medical services, and special supplements for specialized health care services or supplies.
How do I apply?
Apply for Home Care for Disabled Adults through your local office of the Florida Department of Children and Families, which administers the program.
