There are three types of waivers depending on the level of the client's needs. The Individual Options (IO) Waiver is for people who may need a lot of help in their home and who may need many different kinds of services. The Level One Waiver is for people who do not need a lot of paid staff to provide services. Usually people using a Level One Waiver only need help with a few things, or they have people who can help them with some of the things they need, like cooking meals, taking showers, or driving places. The Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) Waiver is for people who want to be in charge of some of their services. Those with a SELF Waiver can be in charge of hiring and training the people that provide services and manage their own budget for services.
