Traditionally West Virginia’s frail and chronically disabled have been confined to nursing homes or other institutional care facilities. Now there are in-home alternative approaches to care. The Community Care Program and Medicaid Waiver Program are in-home care programs that provide personal assistance to eligible adults. These services are medically oriented activities or tasks to be implemented according to a Nursing Plan of Care that is developed and supervised by a registered nurse.  These services enable people to meet their physical needs.  As a Homemaker Agency, KVSS provides eligible clients with trained homemakers or caregivers that perform health care services, assistance with personal hygiene, nutritional support and environmental support.
