The Indiana Aged and Disabled (A&D) Waiver Can Pay for Your Long-Term Care Services

Indiana’s Aged and Disabled (A&D) Waiver is a Medicaid program that provides home and community-based services to individuals who are aged 65 and older or have a disability. The program aims to help eligible individuals remain in their homes or community settings rather than moving to a nursing facility. 

The A&D Waiver offers a range of services, including personal care assistance, home modifications, respite care, adult day services, and transportation assistance. These services are designed to support individuals with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management. 

To be eligible for the A&D Waiver, individuals must meet certain criteria, including financial eligibility for Medicaid and functional eligibility, which is determined by an assessment of their needs. The program has specific income and asset limits that applicants must meet. 

Once approved for the A&D Waiver, individuals can choose their own caregivers, including family members, who can then be paid for providing care. The program provides financial assistance to cover the cost of these services. 

It’s important to note that there may be waiting lists for the A&D Waiver due to limited funding and high demand.  Contact Graceful Aging Home Care at 866-675-7850 as a trusted resource for more information on eligibility and the application process.
