Independent Living Waiver

The Independent Living Waiver is similar to the Consumer-Directed State Plan Personal Care program, requiring the same eligibility criteria be met and offering additional personal assistance services beyond the limitations of the state plan. Additional services available include:

• environmental accessibility adaptations
• specialized medical equipment and supplies
• financial management services
• case management

The Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Senior and Disability Services administers this program through an inter-agency agreement with the MO HealthNet Division.
