About Our Approach and Model
At JMJ, we proudly support the Family Caregiver model because no one understands an individual’s needs better than family.
Relatives or legal guardians can provide consistent, personalized disability services in Colorado—and be paid through JMJ for approved services under Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers including DD, SLS, and CES.
Approved services may include:
- Residential support
- Respite care
- Homemaker (remove basic or enhanced)
- Community connection
- Supported community connections
- Personal Care
- IHSS Health Maintenance Activities
- Non-Medical Transportation
- Extraordinary Cleaning
This model promotes quality, dignity, and continuity of care at home.
