Family Support Waiver
Unlocking Access to Essential Services
For many families, Medicaid waivers are the key to unlocking vital services that make independence and quality of life possible for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. But navigating waivers can be one of the most confusing and frustrating processes families face.
At Madonna Ability Alliance, our Family Waiver Support program is here to walk families through the entire journey, ensuring no opportunity is missed because of complicated systems or paperwork barriers.
What Our Waiver Support Includes
Education & Guidance
We begin by explaining the different types of waivers available, eligibility requirements, and what services they cover. Families gain clarity about what support options exist.
Application Assistance
From gathering documents to filling out lengthy applications, our staff work side by side with families to ensure forms are completed correctly and submitted on time.
Waitlist Navigation
Many waiver programs involve long waitlists. We provide families with strategies for planning ahead, exploring interim supports, and staying informed during the waiting process.
Ongoing Support
Once waivers are in place, we continue to help with renewals, annual paperwork, and adjustments as family needs evolve. Our goal is to provide stability year after year.
Referrals & Advocacy
When families need specialized services, we connect them with trusted community partners and advocate on their behalf.
Services Waivers May Support
- Residential services and supported living
- Day services and community integration
- Employment supports and job coaching
- Respite care for families
- Therapies and clinical services
- Transportation assistance
Why Waiver Support Matters
Without guidance, many families miss out on life-changing resources. Waivers can mean the difference between a family struggling alone and a family empowered with the right tools and support.
Our program ensures families:
- Understand what's available
- Apply correctly and on time
- Maintain eligibility with ongoing support
- Gain peace of mind knowing their loved one has access to the care they deserve
