Yes I Care

Caring for a physically or emotionally challenged family member can make you feel helpless.

BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provides Medicaid-eligible members and their families with the invaluable opportunity to receive care within the familiar and comforting surroundings of their homes, as well as actively engage in community-based care.
