Medicaid Homecare Program
For eligible Washington residents who meet the financial eligibility for Home and Community Services, the Washington Medicaid Program pays for personal care services so they can live safely in their homes. These programs are generally called Medicaid Waiver Programs, and they have different eligibility requirements and benefits for clients.
Vibrant Health Homecare is contracted with DSHS to service clients who are enrolled in the following Waiver Programs.
If you are on any of the following Waiver Programs and would like to receive services from us, please inform your case manager to send your referral packet to Vibrant Health Homecare to get started:
- Community First Choice Option (CFCO) – Program participants can receive personal care assistance, personal emergency response systems, assistive technology, in-home respite care, and transitional services from residential living back into the community. Program participants are given the option to choose their own care providers, including some relatives.
- Medicaid Personal Care (MPC) Program – While many persons receive personal care services via CFCO, some Medicaid participants receive this benefit via MPC. Assistance via CFCO requires one to need a Nursing Home Level of Care, while personal care services via MPC are for persons who do not have such a high care need.
- New Freedom (NF) Waiver – Program benefits include in-home personal care, financial support for home modifications that enable the resident greater independence, and education and training for family caregivers. This program is only available in King and Pierce Counties.
- Medicaid Alternative Care (MAC) Program – Intended to support individuals at home and their unpaid caregivers, various long-term services and supports are available. This may include coverage for medical alert services, adult day care, home-delivered meals, respite care, and transportation.
- Tailored Supports for Older Adults (TSOA) Program – Provides assistance to both needy individuals and their unpaid caregivers. This may include coverage for medical alert services, adult day care, home delivered meals, respite care, and transportation.
- Community Options Program Entry System (COPES) – Participants can receive services at home, in an adult family home, or in assisted living. Waiver benefits may include skilled nursing, meal delivery, adult day care, durable medical equipment, and home modifications.
- Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) – The benefits of Medicaid, including long-term care and Medicare are combined into a single program. Additional benefits, such as dental and eye care, may be available.
- Money Follows the Person (MFP) – Also called Roads to Community Living in Washington. This federal program helps institutionalized persons who are eligible for Medicaid to transition back home or into the community.
