The Community Care Services Program

WHO: CCSP assists older and/or functionally disabled consumers, their families, and caregivers in achieving safe, self-reliant lives.  Participants must meet the same medical, functional and financial eligibility criteria as for placement in a nursing facility under Medicaid and be approved by a physician. 

 

WHAT: CCSP provides a range of community-based services (see list below) that support consumer choice to remain in the community. 

 

HOW: The Division of Aging Services administers CCSP by contracting with 12 Area Agencies on Aging to regionally manage the program and provide consumer case management.
