Home & Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver in California
At Topanga Home Health Care, Inc., we are honored to participate as a certified provider in the Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver program. This California Medi-Cal waiver allows individuals with complex medical needs to receive a nursing-facility level of care in their own homes or community settings, rather than in hospitals or long-term care facilities.
Our mission is to support individuals and families by helping them remain safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible while receiving the level of care they require.
What Is the HCBA Waiver?
The HCBA Waiver, also known as the Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver, is a Medi-Cal program in California that offers long-term services and supports to individuals of all ages who would otherwise require care in:
- A nursing facility
- An intermediate care facility
- An acute hospital
Through the HCBA Waiver, eligible individuals can continue living at home or within the community while still receiving necessary medical, nursing, and supportive services.
Who May Qualify for the HCBA Waiver?
Individuals may be eligible for the HCBA Waiver if they:
- Are enrolled in Medi-Cal
- Require a nursing-facility level of care or higher
- Choose to remain at home or in the community instead of entering an institution
- Meet California’s medical and financial eligibility guidelines
Please be aware that HCBA Waiver enrollment is limited statewide, and eligible applicants may be placed on a waitlist until openings become available.
