Can Medicaid Help an Older Adult Stay Out of a Nursing Home?
Louisiana Medicaid offers several home and community-based programs that may help qualifying older adults and adults with disabilities receive long-term care at home rather than in a nursing facility. Options can include the Community Choices Waiver, Long-Term Personal Care Services, Adult Day Health Care, and PACE. For people already living in nursing facilities, certain transition programs may also help qualifying individuals return to the community. Eligibility, available services, and authorized hours depend on the individual’s needs and the applicable program.
