Community care service program(CCSP)

The Community Care Services Program  (CCSP) assists older and/or functionally  impaired consumers in remaining in their  homes and communities. The CCSP is a  Medicaid waiver program that provides community-based social, health and support  services to eligible consumers as an  alternative to institutional placement in a  nursing facility 

Individuals who qualify, or potentially qualify, for Medicaid.  Individuals who otherwise need  institutional care in a nursing facility.  Screening and assessment  determine that your health needs may be  met by services in the home or  community.  The doctor approves CCSP services for  you. 

 Eligible individuals may receive a  combination of CCSP services and other  community services. The care coordinator  assesses appropriateness for CCSP, develops a client-focused comprehensive plan of care, and arranges for delivery of service(s). The  care coordinator monitors providers of  service, quality of service delivery and  ongoing client care 

 Based on Medicaid income limits, some eligible individuals pay some of the cost  their services, while others do not.

 Admission to CCSP is based on available  funding determined by the state legislature.  Priority is given to those in most need of  services.
