This benefit is a Home and Community Based Waiver for Adults with Other Related Conditions (ORC) who are 21 or older, meet institutional level of care and choose to live in the community with the support of this waiver. This Home and Community Based Waiver is designed to maximize the opportunity for members to achieve the greatest degree of self-sufficiency and independence chosen by the member. Member choice in all services and components of services is a primary goal of this waiver. Additionally, the principles of conflict-free care coordination, services provided in the least restrictive modality and effective use of assistive technology for communication, environmental control and safety are inherent to this waiver.
This benefit has been designed and will be implemented in such a manner so as to ensure that every waiver service setting:
* Is integrated in and supports full access to the greater community;
* Is selected by the member from among setting options;
* Ensures members' rights of privacy, dignity and respect, and freedom from coercion and restraint;
* Optimizes autonomy and independence in making life choices; and
* Facilitates choice regarding services and who provides them.
