Community Integration & Habilitation Waiver (CIH)

The Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH) Waiver provides home and community-based services (HCBS) to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, enabling them to remain in their homes or community settings. The CIH waiver also supports individuals transitioning from state-operated facilities or other institutions into community living. Services under the CIH waiver are designed to provide the flexibility needed to help individuals achieve and maintain optimal levels of self-determination, independence, and community integration.

At Swan Garden Home Services, we offer a variety of services through the CIH waiver, tailored to meet the individual needs of each client and support their goals for independence and community involvement.

To qualify for the CIH waiver, individuals must:

• Have an intellectual disability diagnosed before the age of 22
• Reside in or transition to an HCBS-compliant (non-institutionalized) setting
• Meet Medicaid eligibility and income guidelines
• Require Intermediate Care Facility-level care
