COPES allows clients to choose to receive home and community based services instead of nursing facility care. Once a client is determined functionally and financially i eligible ibl for the waiver program, the client chooses where to receive services; at home, in a residential setting, or a nursing facility. Waiver services include personal care services and the categorically needy medical program.

The service is provided in a manner consistent with protecting and promoting the client s health and welfare, and appropriate to the client s physical and psychosocial needs. The service is provided within the scope of practice of the contractors license and in compliance with professional rules
