Choices for Care is a long-term Medicaid program that helps pay for care and support of older Vermonters and people with physical disabilities. The program assists people with everyday activities either at home, in a nursing facility, or a setting of their choice.
Support includes assistance with eating, personal care, transferring from bed to chair, and support with tasks such as meal preparation and household chores to increase and maintain independence.
A second program is the Moderate Need Homemaker Program, for individuals who need minimal assistance to remain at home. This program offers adult day services, and/or homemaker service.

To be eligible, you must:
