Choices for Care
Choices for Care provides Medicaid-funded long-term services and supports, including home and community-based services, for Vermont residents age 65 and older, individuals age 18 and older with physical disabilities, and Medicaid-eligible children and adults.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Vermont?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (18–null)?
- 03
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Which citizenship or immigration statuses does the program accept, and which documents show it?
- 06
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 07
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 08
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 09
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
