For individuals who need occasional support but want to stay independent, the Level 1 Waiver can make a big difference. Absolute – Richard Supportive Living LLC helps individuals access services under this waiver, including personal care, respite, and transportation. This program is ideal for those living with family or on their own and seeking flexible, part-time assistance. Our team works closely with individuals and families to make sure needs are met within the waiver’s funding limits. We simplify the process and support you every step of the way.

Understanding the Scope of Level 1 Waiver Services

Level 1 Waivers help cover support for individuals who don’t need full-time care but could use some extra help staying safe and active in their home or community. The waiver has a yearly funding limit, but it still offers helpful services that make a real difference. Here’s how these supports can work:

  • Your loved one can get help with daily activities like getting to appointments, staying active in the community, or receiving short-term care.
  • The waiver helps cover personal care, homemaker tasks, or even someone coming in to give you a break for a few hours.
  • Services are flexible but need to stay within the annual budget, so we plan around what’s most useful.
  • It’s helpful for families who are mostly handling care on their own but need support to keep things running smoothly.
  • Having access to this kind of support can ease stress and give your loved one more opportunities to stay engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered some of the most common questions we receive to provide you with helpful information and address general inquiries

What distinguishes a Level 1 Waiver from other Medicaid waiver programs?
A Level 1 Waiver provides home- and community-based services to individuals with developmental disabilities who require lower levels of support. Compared to Individual Options (IO) Waivers, Level 1 Waivers are limited in funding and are meant for those who need fewer hours of assistance throughout the year.
What types of support can someone receive through a Level 1 Waiver?
Covered services can include homemaker personal care, adult day support, respite, transportation, emergency response systems, and other community-based assistance. While the range of services is broad, each comes with funding and unit limits designed to manage lower-intensity needs.
Are there limits to how much support someone can receive under this waiver?
Yes, the Level 1 Waiver includes annual service caps, both for overall expenditures and for specific service categories. These limits help determine how services are prioritized and scheduled across the plan year.
How do I find out if a Level 1 Waiver is appropriate for someone’s needs?
The local county board of developmental disabilities typically conducts an assessment to determine the level of need. If support requirements fall within the waiver’s funding guidelines, the Level 1 Waiver may be a practical solution.
What is the first step to apply for a Level 1 Waiver in Ohio?
Begin by contacting your county board of developmental disabilities. A service and support administrator (SSA) will guide the process, including eligibility assessments, waiver enrollment, and development of an individualized support plan.
