Exciting news for individuals in Indiana who are on the Age & Disabled Waiver waitlist! Beginning July 1st, the A&D Waiver will transition into both the Pathways and Health &Wellness Waiver, and the expectation is that there will be NO WAITLISTS. 🎉 According to Evan Reinhardt, executive director of the Indiana Association on Home and Hospice Care, "There is no indication of a waitlist for Pathways. The objective (of Pathways) is to bring as many folks over to HCBS services as possible. So, given that as a strategy, we don’t expect any limitations on Pathways at this point."
