Home and Community Services
Direct service and services to meet regulatory requirements and/or contract conditions provided in-home and community settings to assist individuals in acquiring, retaining, and improving self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills. For the most part, these services differ only with respect to the setting or regulatory requirements. This service can only be provided when the county program determines it will prevent institutionalization. Modifiers are used to identify individual services and account for differences in service delivery regulations or methods specific to the service setting. Modifiers enable services to be enriched through lower staff to individual ratios and program content. Individuals and families have increased program options from which to choose and levels of service are available to appropriately address individuals' health and safety needs and/or to achieve the purpose of the provision of the service.
