The NCW program is designed to serve individuals who are residing long term in a nursing facility or licensed assisted living communities. The program offers an option for these individuals to move into integrated community-based settings if they wish to do so and if their needs can be safely met in the setting that they have chosen. When an individual is enrolled in the New Choices Waiver program, they may receive an expanded package of supportive services through Medicaid which are intended to help with community-based living.
