Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) focuses on providing quality Medicaid funded services to eligible individuals in their homes and communities. HCBS is working to create a sustainable, person-driven long-term support system for people with  disabilities, the elderly and people with chronic conditions so they have outcomes, such as  independence, health and quality of life. HCBS endeavors to ensure a service delivery system that promotes opportunities for people:

• To receive quality services that respect personal dignity and choice;
• To decide where and with whom they live;
• To have control over the services they receive and who provides those services;
• To work and earn money, and to include friends and supports to help them participate in community life.
