The goal is to assist individuals to live independently in the community. Program participants must be between 18 and 59 years and meet functional impairment levels to qualify.
Case managers assess each participant's needs, and then arrange and coordinate services.
Support services include emergency alert response, homemaker, and personal care. Home-delivered meals may be included as well. Funding is appropriated by the Florida Legislature. The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services is responsible for administration and supervision of the program in Florida. Medicaid funds are also received by Community Care for the Disabled Adult for most available services.
