Accomplish More with Undivided Goals: Medically Complex Child

Published: Oct. 8, 2024Updated: Oct. 17, 2024

If your child has significant medical needs, they will need more support at home, which can come with greater expenses. Add these goals to your Roadmap for help applying for funding assistance to support your child's medical treatments, in-home nursing, family life at home, and more.

Care goal

Enroll in Medi-Cal using the HCBA waiver

If your child is not a Regional Center client, the HCBA waiver may allow them to access full-scope Medi-Cal.

Public Benefits goal

Apply for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) after enrolling in Medi-Cal

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) helps fund care and supervision at home for children who need more care than typically developing children of their same age. You can apply for IHSS if your child receives Medi-Cal.

Care goal

Get in-home nursing (LVN)
