Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver
The CADI Waiver program provides funding for MA-Waiver services so that adults and children with disabilities can live in the community rather than in a nursing facility.
The CADI Waiver serves about 10,000 people annually and provides a wide range of services including adult day care, homemaker services, independent living services, and home delivered meals.
