Learn how Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver helps eligible individuals receive essential care and support in the comfort of their homes and communities.
The Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) Waiver is a Virginia Medicaid program that provides home and community-based services for eligible individuals who would otherwise require care in a nursing facility or other qualifying medical facility.
It offers an opportunity to receive needed assistance while remaining in a familiar home or community environment.
The waiver supports individuals with significant long-term care needs who meet Virginia Medicaid and required screening criteria.
Seniors who need substantial support with daily activities and meet the required level-of-care criteria.
Individuals living with physical disabilities who require qualifying long-term care and assistance.
Individuals with serious chronic conditions or substantial ongoing medical and nursing care needs.
Eligibility is determined by Virginia Medicaid and the authorized LTSS screening process. Meeting a description above does not guarantee approval.
The CCC Plus Waiver includes a range of services depending on individual eligibility, assessed needs and authorization.
Assistance with qualifying everyday personal care activities and routines.
Temporary care that offers relief to primary caregivers.
Skilled nursing support for individuals who meet additional medical criteria.
Qualifying home modifications to improve safety and accessibility.
Authorized technology that supports independence and daily functioning.
Personal emergency response systems for qualifying individuals.
These are examples of waiver services, not a representation that Abbai Home Health Care LLC provides every listed service.
Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver offers different ways to arrange eligible personal care and respite services.
Under this model, a personal care agency employs and manages trained aides who provide authorized services. The agency handles employer responsibilities, and nursing supervision is part of the model.
This model gives the member or their designated representative responsibility for hiring, training, scheduling and supervising their attendant. A services facilitator provides guidance about employer responsibilities.
