CHOICES

TennCare CHOICES in Long-Term Services and Supports (or CHOICES for short) is for adults (age 21 and older) with a physical disability and seniors (age 65 and older). CHOICES 提供服務,協助個人住在自己的家中或社區。These services are called Home and Community Based Services or HCBS. These services can be provided in the home, on the job, or in the community to assist with daily living activities and allow people to work and be actively involved in their local community. CHOICES also provides care in a nursing home if it is needed.

 CHOICES Groups

  • Group 1 is for people of all ages who receive nursing home care. 
  • Group 2 is for certain people who qualify for nursing home care, but choose to receive home care instead or Assistant Living/Community Living Support (service). 
  • Group 3 is for certain people who don’t qualify for nursing home care, but need home care to help them stay at home safely or Assistant Living/Community Living Support (service).

To see if you qualify to enroll in CHOICES, call us at 1-800-690-1606. 

ECF CHOICES

Employment and Community First CHOICES is for people of all ages who have an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD). This includes people who have significant disabilities.

Services help people with I/DD gain as much independence as possible. People are supported to live with their family or in the community, not in an institution. Residential services are available for adults with I/DD who do not live with family but need supports where they live.

Employment and Community First CHOICES can help the person with I/DD explore the possibility of working. Services can also help people learn skills for work, find a job, and keep a job. This could be a part-time job, a full-time job or self-employment. Working helps people earn money, learn new skills, meet new people, and play an important role in their communities. Work can also help people stay healthy and build self-confidence.

Other services help people learn and do things at home and in the community that help people achieve their goals. If a person lives at home with their family, the services help the family support the person to become as independent as possible. Services also help people get actively involved in their communities and include peer supports for the person and for their family.

 ECF CHOICES Groups

  • Group 4 (Essential Family Supports) Family Support Services are for families caring for a  child under the age of 21 who has an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD). The child must live at home with their family (not a foster family). 
  • Group 5 (Essential Supports for Employment and Independent Living) Essential Support services are for adults age 21 and older who have an I/DD but don’t qualify for the level of care in a nursing home.
  • Group 6 (Comprehensive Supports for Employment and Community Living) These services are only for adults age 21 and older who would qualify to get care in a nursing home. (This doesn’t mean the person has to receive care in a nursing home. This program provides services at home and in the community. They just need to qualify for nursing home care.)
  • Group 7 (Intensive Behavioral Family Supports) This group is for a small number of children under age 21 who live with their family and have I/DD and severe behavior support needs that place the child or others at risk of serious harm. The behaviors are so challenging that the child is at risk of being placed outside the home. This group provides mental health treatment and other services in the home with the family. (The family must be willing to be part of the child’s treatment.) The services will train and support the family to support the child so they can keep living safely together.
  • Group 8 (Comprehensive Behavioral Supports for Employment and Community Living) This group is for a small number of adults who have I/DD and server behavior support needs and are moving into the community from a place with lots of structure and supervision. This could be coming from a mental health hospital, the foster care system, jail, or a nursing home. These services are mostly for adults age 21 or older, sometimes, a person age 18-20 can receive the services too. They combine 24/7 residential services with mental health treatment and support. People are usually in this group short-term. Once the person is stable in the community, they will move to a different benefit group that can safely meet their needs.

You may review a complete list of services for each benefit group, some of the services have limits.
