Assisted Care and Facilities

Individuals with disabilities have different needs. The goal of the Idaho Medicaid program is to provide the right level of care in the least restrictive setting possible and try to keep individuals with disabilities in their homes and communities whenever possible. However, there are times when a higher level of care, such as nursing home services are required. This section helps describe the different services and living arrangements available under the Idaho Medicaid program for individuals with physical, developmental, or medical disabilities.
