The state funded Home Care program provide case/management services and subcontracts such as cleaning, meals, shopping, laundry, bathing, dressing, etc. Special Home Care Programs include:

• MANAGED CARE IN HOUSING (MCIH) - provides a higher service level for very frail elders who reside in senior housing and are not Medicaid recipients. They must meet all criteria for state-funded home care.
• ENHANCED COMMUNITY OPTIONS PROGRAM (ECOP) - which provides a higher service level for very frail elders who do not reside in senior housing and do not receive Medicaid. They must meet all criteria for state-funded home care.
• GROUP ADULT FOSTER CARE (GAFC) - which provides a higher level of services to very frail adults who are Medicaid recipients and require an intensive level of personal care services. Why is it important to know about these services? As people live to their 80s and 90s, there is greater likelihood that they may need services. Therefore, elders and families should know about home care. What should the consumer consider in selecting a provider? Elders should always find out first if they are eligible for state-funded home care programs.
