1915(i)
1915(i) is a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program that provides support for individuals who need extra help to live successfully in their homes and communities. Instead of requiring institutional care, 1915(i) makes it possible for people to receive the services they need in a more flexible, community-based setting.
Key aspects include:
Medicaid-Funded Support: Services are covered by Medicaid, reducing the financial burden for individuals and families.
Person-Centered Care: Plans are tailored to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and strengths.
Range of Services Offered: Depending on eligibility and state guidelines, this can include skill-building, daily living support, peer mentoring, counseling, and assistance with community integration.
Promotes Independence: The goal is to help individuals remain in their own homes or community settings while still receiving the care they need.
Alternatives to Institutional Care: Ensures individuals can thrive outside of nursing homes or other long-term care facilities, with supports designed to improve quality of life.
Why it matters:
1915(i) services give individuals access to essential care and skill-building supports while preserving independence, dignity, and community involvement—all with the backing of Medicaid funding.
