DDA Medicaid Waiver
Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAA)
Description
Environmental accessibility adaptations are adaptations to the home or vehicle which are necessary to ensure the health, welfare and safety of the participant, or which enable the participant to function with greater independence in the home, and without which, the participant would require institutionalization. Adaptations may include the installation of ramps and grab-bars, widening of doorways, modification of bathroom facilities, or installation of specialized electric and plumbing.
Limits and Requirements
- $10,000 per five year life of Waiver
- $500 per residential Inspection
- Home modification funds are not intended to cover basic construction cost. Waiver funds can be used to cover the difference between constructing a bathroom and building an accessible or modified bathroom, but in any situation must pay for a specific approved adaptation.
