CES Waiver
Offering a compassionate alternative to institutional care!
Our Community and Employment Services (CES) Waiver program offers a compassionate alternative to institutional care. Through CES Waiver Services, eligible individuals can opt for more autonomous living arrangements, receiving personalized support in their chosen environment. It’s a liberating choice for thousands of Arkansans currently benefiting from the program.
Community and Employment Supports (CES) Waiver is a program designed to assist people with developmental disabilities so that they can live in a home of their choice and have a participating role as an accepted member of their community.
The CES Waiver program takes a person-centered approach to reach maximum growth potential toward independence. The planning, coordination, and implementation of support services are based on the individual’s needs, desires, and wishes for the future.
