What is a Waiver?
A waiver is a Medicaid funding source that can help pay for services to keep people with disabilities in their own homes and prevent moving to a long-term care facility or nursing home. The county board is required to pay approximately 40% of the cost of waiver services. The federal government pays 60% of the cost of services

Waiting Lists in Delaware County
