Maryland Community First Choice (CFC)

Community First Choice is a Maryland Medicaid state-plan benefit, not a waiver. It has no age limit. An authorized plan can include personal assistance with everyday activities, such as bathing, dressing, and getting around safely. Maryland looks at two things: whether someone needs an institutional level of care, and whether they live in a community setting. Maryland makes that decision, not Cottage. Our team can explain how Cottage's care might fit an authorized plan.

Learn about Community First Choice

Community Options Waiver

The Community Options Waiver, also called the Home and Community-Based Options Waiver, is a Maryland Medicaid program for adults 18 and older who need a nursing facility level of care. It helps people stay at home instead. Applicants join the Community Options Waiver Registry through Maryland Access Point and wait for an invitation to apply. Waiver participants may also receive other Medicaid benefits, including Community First Choice. Once services are authorized, our team can explain how Cottage's care may fit that plan.

Private-Pay Home Care

Private pay is care your family funds directly. It is separate from any Medicaid program, so no state approval is required to begin. You choose the hours and support your relative needs. Caregiver availability still matters, so timing can vary. This works well for families not using Medicaid, or adding extra hours alongside an authorized plan. Ask our team about current scheduling and pricing.

FAQs

Home Care FAQs for Wicomico County Families

Still have a question?(667) 400-0648

Non-medical home care can include personal care, meal prep, and light housekeeping. It can also include companionship, medication reminders, and safety checks. What is included depends on your relative's plan. This differs from skilled nursing or clinical treatment, such as wound care or physical therapy, which require a licensed clinical provider.

There is no single best agency for every family. When comparing home care near me, look at service fit, Maryland licensing, the caregiver screening process, scheduling, cost, and how clearly an agency communicates. A short call with a few local agencies can help you compare answers.

Cost depends on hours needed, schedule, type of support, and payment method. Private pay and Medicaid-funded care are priced differently. Our team can go over current Cottage rates for Wicomico County once we understand your relative's needs and preferred schedule.

Maryland Medicaid may fund qualifying home and community-based services for some families. Programs like Community First Choice and the Community Options Waiver cover different situations and have different rules. Maryland decides who qualifies and what gets authorized, not Cottage. Not all home care is Medicaid-covered, so private pay remains an option worth discussing with our team.

It can, but rules apply. Maryland Community First Choice allows self-directed arrangements in some circumstances, and a qualifying family member may be able to provide authorized care. This depends on the delivery model, worker qualifications, and the authorized plan. Not every relative automatically qualifies, and Cottage does not guarantee wages, hours, or employment. Ask our team which paid family caregiver options may fit your specific situation.

Yes. Non-medical caregivers can help with bathing, dressing, meals, light mobility, and daily household routines as your relative settles back home. If your relative needs nursing, physical therapy, wound care, or other clinical treatment, they will likely need a licensed clinical provider too. Our team can help you sort out which type of support fits.
