We are a provider for the Arkansas Medicaid programs below. Read about each one, visit its official website, or apply online through Access Arkansas. If you need help figuring out which program fits, call us.
CES Waiver
The Community and Employment Supports (CES) Waiver helps Arkansans of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities live at home and take part in their community.
Who it's for: people with an intellectual or developmental disability that is expected to last for life and who need a lot of support in at least three areas of daily life. Families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid may still qualify for waiver services.
How we help: supportive living services such as daily living skills, money management, community outings, communication and behavior support, and health maintenance.
How to apply: call the DHS Developmental Disabilities Services Intake and Referral line at 501-683-5687. Approved applicants are placed on a waitlist and offered a slot by approval date.

ARChoices In-Home Care
ARChoices is an Arkansas Medicaid waiver that helps adults get care at home instead of moving to a nursing home.
Who it's for: adults age 65 and older, and adults age 21 to 64 with a physical disability, who meet the financial limits and need a nursing-home level of care.
How we help: hands-on help with daily tasks and personal care, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, mobility and light housekeeping.
How to apply: apply online at Access Arkansas or call 855-372-1084.
Arkansas PASSE Program
PASSE plans coordinate Medicaid care for Arkansans, children and adults, with complex behavioral health needs or intellectual and developmental disabilities.
