What are the benefits of the elderly waiver in Iowa?

In Iowa, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home is over $8,500 per month, making it financially challenging for many seniors. The Iowa Elderly Waiver, a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program, offers a critical alternative, providing funding and support that helps eligible individuals stay in their own homes or communities instead of a medical institution. This waiver provides a range of benefits tailored to each individual's needs, offering a more personalized and comfortable approach to long-term care.
