Kentucky Medicaid Waivers provide in-home care and community support services to an individual of any age with a physical, developmental, and/or intellectual disability to help them remain in or return to their homes. Services include Case Management, Minor Home Adaptation, Adult Day Healthcare, homemaking, personal and attendant Care, goods and supplies.
Participant Directed Services (PDS) allows people eligible for Medicaid waiver services to choose their own providers for non-medical waiver services. Provider choice gives members greater flexibility in the delivery of services received.
Medicaid Waiver services such as PDS make it possible for individuals to remain in their home and community and not be placed in institutional or nursing facility care. PDS programs allow participants to have control in decisions about their care and services they receive, at home, through the Medicaid Waiver. PDS programs let the participant select the individual or agency that will be coming into their home to provide person centered services. A participant may also elect to use the PDS program to attend a day program or receive incontinent supplies if needed, as well as other service options. A person is more likely to remain healthy when they are comfortable within their own home.
KIPDA can help eligible recipients interested in enrolling with PDS with an application for a waiver through the Kentucky Kynect website.
Additionally, KIPDA is an HCB Waiver Provider for those who currently receive or are eligible for services through these waiver programs. The Participant Directed Services (PDS) Waiver Program, has been provided by KIPDA since 2006. The PDS Waiver program is for persons who are aging, have developmental or intellectual challenges, have physical disabilities, or who are otherwise unable to care for themselves independently in their home and community.
