Webinar: Community HealthChoices & Other Home & Community-Based Service Programs for Adults with Physical Disabilities & Brain Injuries hosted by Disability Rights Pennsylvania

Disability Rights Pennsylvania (DRP) is proud to announce that we have released three (3) new fact sheets that may be helpful to the adults and transition-age youth you serve and who are in or may be eligible for the Community HealthChoices (“CHC”) Home and Community-Based Services (“HCBS”) Waiver and/or other adult HCBS programs in Pennsylvania.

They are:  1) Eligibility for Community HealthChoices (“CHC”) and Other Programs that Provide Home and Community-Based Services for Adults as Alternatives to Nursing Facilities; 2) Services Available Through the Community HealthChoices (“CHC”) HCBS Waiver; and 3) Challenging Eligibility and Service Decisions Under the Community HealthChoices (“CHC”) HCBS Waiver.

You can find these publications on DRP’s website here, under the Resources tab and Community HealthChoices (CHC) and Other Community Alternatives to Nursing Facilities topic.

DRP hosted a webinar on June 8^th, 2022. This session covers the CHC HCBS Waiver, the LIFE Program, the Act 150 Program, and the OPTIONS Program, including eligibility criteria, the application processes, available services, and due process rights. Click here to access the recorded webinar.
