Supports For Community Living

Supports for Community Living (SCL) is a home and community-based waiver under the Kentucky Medicaid program developed as an alternative to institutional care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. SCL allows individuals to remain in or return to the community in the least restrictive setting.

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who meet requirements for residence in an intermediate care facility for people with intellectual disabilities and who meet other Medicaid requirements are eligible for these services.

Supports for Community Living offers a variety of supports and services. These are based on the individual's goals, choices and priorities as identified through an individual support plan.

There is currently a waiting list for services and supports and an application will allow your name to be included on the list. Additional individuals are served in chronological order as funding becomes available.

The first step is to complete an application form for SCL services (MAP-620). You may obtain an application by contacting Alternative Outlook, LLC or by calling (502) 564-7702 or you may visit the Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities website.

After you are selected for funding, you must then be determined to need the level of care provided by an ICF/ID and to be eligible for Medicaid.
