Aged and Disabled Waiver Respite Care
Aged and Disabled Waiver: (AD) (Home and Community-Based Waiver Services for Aged Persons or Adults or Children With Disabilities) – Home and community–based waiver services offer eligible persons a choice between entering a Nursing Facility (NF) or receiving supportive services in their homes. Medicaid funding through the Nebraska Medical Assistance Program (NMAP) is used to fund either service option. The average cost of waiver services funded by Medicaid must not exceed the average cost to Medicaid for NF services.
To be eligible for support through this "Aged and Disabled Waiver," a potential client must meet the following general criteria:
Have care needs equal to those of Medicaid-funded residents in Nursing Facilities;
Be eligible for Medicaid; and
Work with the services coordinator to develop an outcome-based, cost effective service plan.
