Community supports must NOT be provided in which setting?

Community supports are meant to help a person live in their own home and participate in ordinary community life, delivered in private, one-on-one interactions or in familiar community settings that support independence. Providing these supports in a group setting with other Medicaid waiver recipients creates a congregate, service-based environment rather than an individualized, person-centered approach. That separation undermines privacy, choice, and the natural, home-and-community focus of these supports, which is why this setting is not allowed. In contrast, delivering supports one-on-one in the home or in typical community contexts aligns with the intended purpose.
