Community Care for Disabled Adults delivers community-based services that enable disabled adults to remain in their own homes.
Who is eligible?
Community Care for Disabled Adults provides in-home services to adults 18 through 59 years of age who have one or more 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. Priority for services is extended to those persons who
- Are victims of, or have been identified as “at-risk” of abuse, neglect, and exploitation
- Lack family and friends to provide an adequate support system
- Have incomes below the Institutional Care Program (ICP) limit, and
- Are not receiving comparable services from other agencies.
What services are provided?
Community Care for Disabled Adults services include adult day care, adult day health care, chore, emergency alert response, escort services, group activity therapy, home delivered meals, homemaker, interpreter services, inhome nursing services, personal care, respite care, transportation, medical equipment, and home health aide services. Either departmentally provided or privately contracted case management is provided to all participants. Individuals with incomes exceeding the ICP level will be responsible for paying a fee for service or provide volunteer service in lieu of the calculated fees.
How do I apply?
You may apply for Community Care for Disabled Adults services through your local Adult Services office of the Department of Children and Families, which administers the program.
