Case management refers to the process of assisting adults who require help at home, in areas such as bathing, dressing, transferring, etc., and who qualify both financially and in terms of the need for Medicaid in-home care programs, utilizing those services in a safe and effective manner.
Case managers perform periodic, comprehensive assessments and help recipients develop and implement service plans that meet their needs and personal preferences, within the parameters of these Medicaid programs.
Eligibility is established by the Department of Social & Health Services’ Home & Community Services division and is then transferred to the Aging & Adult Services of Coastal Washington (AASCW) for ongoing assistance.
For specific information regarding the qualifications for these Medicaid in-home care programs, please see:
AASCW’s Aging and Disability Resources Specialists are available, without cost or obligation, to the individual or family, to help consumers understand and qualify for programs and/or other in-home assistance helping the individual to remain independent at home.
