The Alabama Medicaid Elderly & Disabled Waiver Program is designed to provide services to older adults and others whose needs would qualify for placement in a long-term care facility.

 

This program is for those who qualify for Medicaid, and would require placement in a long term care facility if they did not get help in their home. The kinds of help available to those who qualify include:

 

• case management

• personal care

• homemaker services

• companion services

• respite care

• adult day services (where available)

• nutrition and meals.

 

Waiver program enrollment is limited and a waiting period may be required.
