Home Based Supports and Services (HBSS) for Older and Disabled Adults is a state funded program to provide long term care services to assist eligible Consumers to avoid or delay institutionalization. Provision of these services is based on the availability of funds. State funds furnished through 22 M.R.S. §§ 7301-06, 7321-23 and 34-B M.R.S. § 5439 may not be used to supplant the resources available from families, neighbors, agencies and/or the Consumer from other federal or state programs unless specifically provided for elsewhere in this Section. State HBSS funds shall be used to purchase only those covered services that are essential to assist the Consumer to avoid or delay institutionalization and which will foster independence, consistent with the Consumer's circumstances and the Authorized Plan of Care. This program supports Consumer choice, Consumer direction, flexibility, as well as Consumer responsibility in the provision of these services.
