Financial Assistance Programs in Williamsburg

Medicaid Program in Williamsburg

Seniors in Williamsburg who live on a fixed or limited income may be able to get help paying for the cost of senior care through the state Medicaid program. Medicaid is a health insurance program funded by the state and federal governments, which operates as an entitlement for seniors in Williamsburg. This means that applicants who meet the intake requirements must all be accepted for free or low-cost healthcare, without any waiting periods or enrollment caps.

The Medicaid program in Virginia covers residential care costs for nursing home care and some personal care. To qualify for coverage, seniors in Williamsburg must be citizens or legal residents of the United States and residents of Virginia. Financial eligibility is determined by a review of both income and assets over the previous 60 months, to determine seniors' financial situation. Seniors applying for Medicaid in Virginia are limited to a maximum monthly income of $2,313 from all sources combined if single or married and applying alone. Married couples can earn up to $4,626 a month if both spouses are applying for coverage. Applicants' assets are limited to a maximum of $2,000, while a non-applying spouse can have assets of up to $126,420.

Income and asset limits in Virginia vary with the age, condition and status of each applicant, as well as the specifics of the coverage they are applying for. Because of the complexity of Medicaid's intake requirements, it is generally a good idea for seniors in Williamsburg to meet with a Medicaid planner or certified senior adviser to review financial information prior to applying for Medicaid.

Seniors can apply for the program by phone through the Cover Virginia call center, online at the state's Common Help website or by mail through the local Department of Social Services office.

Medicaid Waivers in Williamsburg

Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC+)

Some Williamsburg seniors can get help paying for non-nursing home services through Virginia's consolidated waiver program. This program, which the state calls Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC+), pays many of the costs associated with assisted living and home care. It is not an entitlement program, however, and an annual enrollment cap may exclude some seniors who could benefit from the waiver. The statewide cap in 2016 was 36,195 new participants, after which the program closed until the next year's application period opened. Financial eligibility criteria are the same as those for the state Medicaid program.

CCC+ pays for several services intended to help seniors live at home or in assisted living safely. Costs covered by CCC+ include:

• Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) equipment
• Agency- and consumer-directed respite care services
• Adult day care
• Assistive technology
• Environmental modifications, such as wheelchair ramps and guard rail installation
  Personal care services that may be either agency- or consumer-directed
• Skilled nursing services from either an RN or LPN
• Transportation and facility coordination for mobility and communications-impaired seniors
• Translation and interpreter services

CCC+ imposes limits on the value of the benefits it delivers for seniors. Program participants are generally restricted to an annual maximum of 480 hours of respite care per year, as well as no more than 112 hours of nursing care per week. Environmental modifications are capped at $5,000 per fiscal year, as is assistive technology, not counting PERS hardware. Transition services may be paid for through CCC+, but costs are capped at a maximum of $5,000 per person, per lifetime.

Other Financial Assistance Programs in Williamsburg

Adult Services Program (AS)

Seniors in Williamsburg who wish to avoid nursing home placement may be able to pay some of the costs of staying in their own homes through Virginia's Adult Services program, also called Companion Care. Companion Care is available to seniors with a physical or mental disability and low income who are at risk of placement in a residential care facility. The program pays for home-based companion and homemaker services, as well as help with household chores. Other services covered by Companion Care include:

• Adult foster care
• Adult day care
• Advice and placement services from a case manager
• Nutrition assistance, including meal delivery
• Pre-admission screenings for seniors moving into assisted living facilities
• Screening services for seniors who may need placement in a nursing home or who are applying for a Medicaid waiver program

Seniors can apply for Companion Care through their Medicaid case manager, or through the benefits coordinator at a participating residential care facility.

Auxiliary Grant (AG)

Williamsburg seniors who receive SSI and live in a residential care facility or have a serious physical disability, such as blindness, may be eligible for cash assistance through the state's Auxiliary Grant (AG). AG pays a monthly sum to directly cover the cost of living in an approved adult foster care home or other community residential setting. The program also pays seniors a monthly stipend to help cover personal costs. This payment can be spent on personal items, clothing, medical co-payments, tobacco, travel expenses, dental care and other services the care home is not required to provide for residents.

Seniors can apply for AG benefits through a participating care home. They can also apply for themselves prior to entering residential care by submitting a written application through the Department of Social Services in the last county they were residents of prior to entering care. Applications may take up to 45 days before final approval.
