Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) provide opportunities for Medicaid beneficiaries to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve a variety of targeted populations groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and/or acquired brain injuries.

There are resources available to assist you in ensuring your voice is heard, knowing your rights, keeping your benefits, and making a complaint. Guardians, family members, or case managers can also use these resources to help you.
