Support for Community Living Waiver & Michelle P. Waiver
The focus of SCL is to allow a person to remain in or return to the community. Persons with developmental or intellectual disabilities who meet the requirements for residence in an Intermediate Care Facility for persons with Intellectual Disabilities, and who meet other Medicaid requirements, are eligible for this program.
Supports for Community Living (SCL)/ Michelle P. Waiver (MPW) service can be delivered in the ways described below. Note: Certain services are exclusive to the type of delivery chosen below:
Participant-directed: This allows the individual to assist with the design of the programs, and to recruit, hire, train, manage, evaluate and terminate staff, and direct the delivery of services to meet the participant's needs. The services are specifically nonresidential and nonmedical.
Traditional: Unlike with participant-directed services, the agency supporting the individual recruits, hires, trains, manages, evaluates and terminates staff.
Blended: This is a combination of different traditional and participant-directed services. For example, a person may choose to receive case management and physical therapy under traditional and choose to receive respite and personal care assistance under participant-directed services.
