Parents and caregivers of children and adults with disabilities should review the Department of Medical Assistance (DMAS) website to learn more about home and community-based Medicaid waivers and their criteria. Medicaid waivers are designed to provide respite and personal care among other services to individuals with disabilities so that they can remain in their homes and community.
