Aged & Disabled (A&D) Waiver Services
Supporting Independence, Health, and Dignity at Home
At AnointedSaints Home Care, we specialize in providing high-quality, non-medical in-home care under the Indiana Aged and Disabled (A&D) Waiver. This Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program allows seniors and individuals with physical disabilities to receive essential daily support in their own homes instead of moving into a nursing facility.
What is the Indiana Aged & Disabled Waiver?
The Aged and Disabled Waiver is an Indiana Medicaid program designed to provide home care services, personal support, and healthcare coordination to eligible individuals. Instead of receiving care inside a long-term care facility, participants receive waiver funding to bring professional caregivers, attendant care, and family caregiver stipends directly into their residence.
Whether you or your loved one needs help with daily hygiene, meal preparation, live-in family care support, or transportation to medical appointments, the A&D Waiver provides the financial framework to make staying at home safe and affordable.
