A. The Residential Options Waiver (ROW), a 1915(c) home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver, is designed to assist beneficiaries in leading healthy, independent and productive lives to the fullest extent possible and promote the full exercise of their rights as citizens of the state of Louisiana. The ROW is personcentered incorporating the beneficiary's support needs and preferences with a goal of integrating the beneficiary into their community. The ROW provides opportunities for eligible individuals with developmental disabilities to receive HCBS services that allow them to transition to and/or remain in the community. These individuals would otherwise require an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID) level of care.
B. The Residential Options Waiver services are provided with the goal of promoting independence through strengthening the beneficiary's capacity for self-care, selfsufficiency and community integration utilizing a wide array of services, supports and residential options. The ROW is person-centered incorporating the beneficiary's support needs and preferences, while supporting the dignity, quality of life, and security with the goal of integrating the participant into the community.
