Indiana PathWays For Aging

Through the Indiana PathWays for Aging (PathWays) program, we’ll help take care of your long-term physical, behavioral, medical, and social needs.

More Choices For Aging Hoosiers

 

Indiana PathWays for Aging is an Indiana health coverage program for Hoosiers aged 60 and older who are eligible for Medicaid. Research shows that most older adults - 75% or more - want to age at home and in their communities. PathWays makes it possible for Hoosiers to age their way, offering more choices to get nursing facility level of care at home or in a community setting, while living independently.

 

According to the NIH, many older adults associate “aging in place” with positive attributes such as maintaining one’s autonomy and independence in a community that offers social connections and access to services. A familiar environment and place can contribute to an older adult’s sense of identity, can promote successful utilization of neighborhood services, and can help one remain socially connected thanks to the proximity of friends. Aging in one’s home can also provide an alternative to nursing homes or long-term care facilities, therefore protecting older adults from healthcare associated infections that could negatively impact their health.

 

PathWays is designed to be age-friendly and help you access the healthcare and community-based services you need. We will work with you to help you meet your goals. We want to support you in living in a setting of your choice. We’ll coordinate your care between your doctors, specialists, in-home services, and caregivers. As a person-centered health plan, our goal is to focus on what matters most to you.
