Medicaid Program:

To qualify you have to be medically and financially eligible

Up to 60 hours a month

If you qualify for Medicaid from the Department of Health and Human Resource Service (DHHR) and you have a valid Medicaid Card, you can receive up to 60 hours a month for free. To qualify for our Mediciad program you must need to have two-thirds of the time spent in the home for personal care. This means you must need help bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, assisting with medicine or transferring.  This program is not a housekeeping service. After the personal care is complete we can do the environmental services like cleaning and shopping. You need to make an appointment with DHHR to see if you qualify, there are special guidelines. Determination is made by household income.

Medicaid Waiver Program:

There is a process to qualifying

To qualify for this program you must first be referred to the West Virginia Medical Institute(WVMI). The WVMI nurse will contact you and make an appointment for a visit. She will see if you have 5 deficits to be on the program. Some of the deficits are as follows: eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence, orientation, transferring, walking, decubitus, able to vacate a building, wheeling, not capable of administering his/her own medications.

Each one of these deficits has different point levels which she will add up and this will give her your level of care service.

Level A = 5-9 points       62 hours per month

Level B = 10-17 points  93 hours per month 

Level C = 26-44 points 155 hours per month

Then you will pick a Case Management Agency. They will send you to DHHR to qualify financially. If you are already Medicaid eligible, a form must be made at the DHHR office. To qualify financially you must make less than $1,800 a month and have no more than $2,000 in assets. Only the income of the applicant is considered, not the income of the spouse, parents or family.

Lighthouse Program:

Rate based on income with sliding scale

The lighthouse program was started by Governor Joe Manchin III for those seniors who did not qualify for other programs. The program was designed to assist those seniors who have functional needs in their homes.

Functional needs consist of bathing, dressing and toileting, transferring and walking, meal preparation, eating, grocery and/or pharmacy shopping. An environmental service is also offered after the personal care is taken care of. The environmental services must be provided in the home and cannot exceed more than 1/3 of the monthly hours that the client receives.

You must be 60 years of age, be evaluated by the agency's RN, and meet the Lighthouse Sliding Fee Schedule.

Since this is a state funded program, donations collected will be put back into the program to help other people get on the program. Only the income of the applicant is considered, not the income of the spouse, parents or family.
