Medicaid Waivers
Why We Exist
Our extensive experience in the Colorado home healthcare industry has afforded us a clear perspective on the strengths of the large agencies and the areas where they fall short. We saw a clear opportunity to not only enhance the quality of care being provided, but also improve the support for our caregivers. It was this insight that led to the creation of 1 For All Home Healthcare — an agency dedicated to not just doing more, but to excelling in our field. We help provide Colorado Medicaid Waivers so you can get the care you need.

No, Colorado has the IHSS program in place, which allows family caregivers to be paid for providing services normally only a CNA or nurse would be allowed to perform. The CHCBS waiver is a wonderful alternative to programs like the Parent CNA program which require you to enroll in a school and get licensed.
