Revisions to Wisconsin Medicaid Standards for Certified 1-2 Bed Adult Family Homes

The purpose of this memorandum is to communicate updated standards for certified 1-2 bed adult family homes. These standards apply to 1-2 bed adult family homes that are funded by the Family Care program, IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) waiver, Children’s Long-Term Support waiver, Community Options Program (COP) waiver, Community Integration Program (CIP) waiver, and homes certified and funded by county human services agencies.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will continue to require managed care organizations (MCOs), county human services agencies, and the IRIS waiver program to certify 1-2 bed adult family homes.
