Getting Started using your Medicaid
If you’re already working with a CCB (Community Centered Board), contact your Resource Coordinator (RC) and ask to have Activity Options included in your IPO. Your RC will issue a Prior Authorization Request (PAR) which gets things started.
A RecPartner will contact you to continue the assessment process for you or your family member. We will discover goals, interests and abilities and determine together the best plan.
If you are new to the process and need to determine eligibility for government funding programs, check with your CCB or Department of Disabilities.

HCBS Medicaid Waiver Programs
The West Community Center, at 1315 Nelson in Lakewood, is the base for a 5 day a week SCC and Day Habilitation Programs. The activities are directed by the interests of the participants and provide a wide range of community involvement as well as in-house learning, creativity and socialization. Each day starts with an optional, 15 minute “Smart Session” where individuals can learn and practice a variety of life skills.
We offer a 6 week pre-vocational workshop, “Off to Work We Go”, along with other Supported Employment services as well as entrepreneurial development. We are in the process of creating several micro businesses where folks can participate in the process and enjoy employment opportunities.
“Life Connection Lab” is a small group designed for young adults on the autism spectrum. Go to activityoptions.com/lifeconnectionlab for more info.
“A Good Home” is a division of Activity Options that creates residential solutions. We support host home living as well as Independent Living Specialists who assist folks who are able to live independently in their own apartments.

Do You Qualify for Medicaid Funding?
We work closely with the Resource Coordinators at these agencies to match people with our programs. Participants who qualify for medicaid funding can use “RecPartners” as their providers who are paid through their approved waiver. To see if you qualify for this program, contact the Division of Disabilities Medicaid Waiver Program or the CCB in your area.
