What Is the NOW Waiver?

The New Options Waiver (NOW) program for people who don’t require care around the clock. Recipients of the program typically live with family, but some reside independently in their own homes. The waiver is especially designed to address specific support needs determined by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Community living support and skilled nursing services offered by CKCG Health Care Services can be provided through the NOW waiver program.

 

Goal of the NOW Program

The program serves the special needs community, providing them the support they need to function independently. The resource is instrumental in helping families meet the needs of their loved ones. Individuals enjoy autonomy and a sense of accomplishment through participation in the NOW program. The program eases the burden of support service planning for those with special needs.

People who don’t require significant support may be eligible for the program. Eligible participants can reside with family or independently. Disabilities covered under the program include social, developmental, physical, and emotional disabilities. People with autism and similar disabilities may be eligible for participation.
