Customized living (CL) is an individualized package of regularly scheduled, health-related and supportive services provided to a person age 18 years or older who resides in a qualified setting.
24-hour customized living (CL): Customized living services provided with 24-hour supervision.
Adult foster care: Individual waiver services that provide ongoing residential care and supportive services to adults living in a home licensed as family foster care or a community residential setting (CRS). These services are individualized and based on the needs of the adult, as identified in the support plan.
Family foster care setting: A licensed family foster care setting where the license holder resides in the home.
Community residential setting (CRS): A licensed residential setting that serves adults and where the license holder does not reside. This setting typically uses a shift-staff model of support (i.e., paid staff work shifts on a 24-hour basis). In this type of setting, at least one person receives foster care or supported living services funded by an HCBS waiver program.
