Do you need help at home? COAAA is here to help! COAAA provides case management for a number of long-term care services that give you choice and dignity to live independently in your own home. Whether you need personal care services, homemaking, transportation, or home delivered meals COAAA can coordinate a care plan to meet your specific needs.
Medicaid Waiver programs help provide long-term care services in the community to people who would otherwise be in an institution or nursing home and meet eligibility requirements.
Individuals must meet certain requirements to be eligible for these service programs. If you think you or a loved one may be eligible for one of these services, call us at 1-800-589-7277 or complete the request form at www.coaaa.org/request_form.php and our team can provide a free in-home consultation or assessment. All assessments are with a licensed social worker or registered nurse who will determine a plan to meet your needs.
