Special Needs Caregivers
Medicaid waiver services through the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) can be a vital source of support for families in need of a special needs caregiver. For example, with approval for Medicaid coverage for community based long term care, your child may be eligible to receive the following services, regardless of household income:
Personal Care, including bathing, shaving, hair care, mouth care, nail care, skin care, and dressing;
Nutrition, including diet, fluids, meal preparation, feeding, and grocery shopping;
Activity and Mobility, including reposition and ambulation;
Exercise, including active and passive range of motion;
Medications, including administration and reminders;
Toileting, including diapers, drainage bags, incontinence care, catheter care, and ostomy care, and
Environment, including making the bed, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, vacumming, dusting, laundry, errands, and accompaniment to medical appointments.
