Home and Community-Based Options Waiver
Medicaid waiver funding that allows seniors to receive long-term supports in their home and community rather than in a nursing facility.
Putting People First
Seniors
BLH supports older adults in our community to achieve optimal health, affordable housing, and meaningful community life — aging with dignity and choice in the place they call home.
Home is where the best care happens.
Using person-centered planning, BLH's Adult Community Services team helps seniors living independently as well as those transitioning from nursing facilities — ensuring every older adult has access to the care, housing, and community connections they deserve.
