The Community Choices Waiver (CCW) targets adults 19-64 with a physical disability and aged adults 65+. The level of care needed to be eligible for this waiver is Nursing Facility level of care. The CCW is provided as an alternative to institutional care and individuals must be financially eligible.

AARP nationwide is a strong supporter of Home and Community Based Services and encourages our members who are CCW users to attend these meetings. If you are not sure whether you do receive CCW funding, ask your in-home care provider.
