About the HCBS Final Rule and Compliance
New York State’s HCBS for individuals with disabilities and disabling conditions, including physical, behavioral, developmental, age-related, or cognitive/intellectual, take place in a variety of settings such as private homes, group homes, scatter site apartments, adult care facilities, day habilitation sites, adult day health care centers, and social adult day programs. Regardless of where individuals receiving HCBS live or receive services, or through which service system they are accessed, all HCBS recipients are required to have Person-Centered Service Plans/Recovery Plans/Resident Care Plans/Life Plans/etc., that afford them informed choice of services, supports, and residences in compliance with the Person-Centered Planning standards of the HCBS Final Rule. Participation in training through this Statewide Training Initiative can demonstrate efforts to come further into alignment with these standards.
