Medicaid Waiver Programs for Home Care
South Carolina's Medicaid waiver programs help eligible individuals receive home and community-based services rather than entering a nursing facility. Beyond Care works with families to understand and access these programs.
What Is the Medicaid Waiver?
Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers allow states to use Medicaid funding to pay for services that help people live at home rather than in institutions. South Carolina administers several waiver programs that may cover non-medical home care services for qualifying individuals.
Who May Qualify?
Medicaid waiver eligibility depends on financial criteria (income and asset limits) and functional criteria (level of care need). Eligibility is determined by the state. Generally, applicants must be Medicaid-eligible and meet a certain level of care need. A care assessment is typically required.
The Community Long Term Care (CLTC) Program
South Carolina's CLTC program is a primary pathway for receiving home care under Medicaid. It is designed to help individuals who would otherwise require nursing home care receive services in their own homes. The program includes case management and authorized home care hours.
