The CHCPE can also help you with some medical needs by providing a visiting nurse or home health aide.
There are two parts to the program: CHCPE State-Funded and the CHCPE Medicaid Waiver. Depending on which part of the program you qualify for, you may have to pay a cost for the services and there may be a waiting list.
