Developmental Disabilities Waiver (DD)

The DD Waiver provides access to 24-hour, seven days a week supervision through Residential Habilitation and Day Habilitation Services and Supports. Service providers are responsible for supporting individuals in services with locating appropriate living arrangements. Living arrangements may include host home settings with 1–2 persons, individualized settings of 1–3 persons, and group settings of 4–8 persons. The DD Waiver also supports participants who live in their own home or who live with and/or receive services from family members.

Home And Community-Based Services Waiver For Persons With Developmental Disabilities (DD)

Individuals who receive services through the DD Waiver are also eligible for all Health First Colorado covered services, as long as those services are not duplicative.

Who Qualifies?

To enroll in the DD Waiver, an individual must meet financial and program criteria:

Level Of Care

An Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF-IID) level of care, as determined by the functional needs assessment (as defined in 42 CFR 440.150).

The individual must be 18 years or older.
