Home and Community Based Services: Personal Care/Homemaker

Personal Care and Homemaker services are provided under the Medicaid waiver program for Medicaid- eligible clients in their homes. Personal care services are furnished to meet the clients' non-skilled physical, maintenance and supportive needs, including bathing, grooming, hygiene, and assistance with ambulation. As these services are non-skilled, they do not need to be performed by a certified home health aide as an extension to care provided by a nurse or therapist.

Homemaker services are provided to Medicaid-eligible clients when the individual ordinarily responsible for these activities is temporarily absent or unable to manage the household activities. These services include housecleaning, meal preparation and laundry. 

The division conducts certification surveys for compliance with federal and state regulations and investigates any complaints filed against one of these providers.
