- What Programs Are Available To Assist Elderly Adults in various states?
-
What happens when you move out of state and bring with you a loved one who has a developmental disability? More often than not, you lose most, if not all, of the services that make it possible for that person to live a healthy, safe, and quality life in the community. In most cases, there will be no funding available for group homes, personal care support, adult day training, respite, diapers, or adaptive equipment. Although most states have home and community based waiver programs, most of these states have very long waiting lists. It could take years before your loved one receives services.
