Introduction
Progressive Social Service Inc. enables some of our lower-income clients to obtain home care free of charge through Classic’s Medicaid Service Coordination Unit. Medicaid Service Coordination professionals can assist persons with developmental disabilities in gaining access to necessary services that meet the needs of the individual on a personalized basis. We are especially proud to help children with Autism connect with the services they need. These services include:
- Finding respite
- After school programs
- Weekend programs
- Transition from school to adult day program
Medicaid Service Coordination professionals can also schedule face-to-face visits to ensure safety and well-being, coordinate services between agencies, help individuals and families assess appropriate and needed services, assist the client in reaching personal goals, and much more.
