Special Assistance / In-Home Program
Special Assistance/In Home (SA/IH) program provides additional income to adults
who meet the criteria. These adults have been determined by a doctor to need domiciliary
(e.g., adult care home, assisted living, family care home, rest home) level of care.
Through this program these adults would be able to remain in their homes provided
they are safe and the additional monies are sufficient to meet the needs. The SA/IH
payment can be used to pay for services that would then stabilize the adults’ home
environment. The program can be used to pay for: needed household repairs, utility
expenses, respite, groceries, medical supplies, clothing, rent/mortgage, transportation,
etc.
