[quote=Anonymous] I agree that most states do have long a long waiting list for the DD Waiver funding slots. Yet, you have to look at the entire picture in where you as a family want to live and where an adult son or daughter with a disability could life with good services and safety in mind over the long term. A Medicaid Waiver is not portable between states so you can go to DC to get one and then plan to move on to another state. "Level of Criticality" is the driving force in Virginia and most states' decision-making so that waiver decisions are crisis driven. There are some states with short waiting lists such as MA that might offer a better lifelong option for all family members.[/quote]
