Thank u MS Medicaid for the opportunity to partner on 2 of the Waiver programs. These programs ensure individuals with significant disabilities are provided the opportunity to live at home, with their families.
DOM's five Home and Community Based Services waivers offer in-home services to help people live at home instead of in nursing homes. More than 22,000 Mississippians are currently served by the waivers. This chart looks at the number in each waiver for the month of December 2020.
