Department of Health and Family Services

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
Enclosed is the Department's annual report for the Community Options Program (COP) and the Home and Community-Based Waivers (COP-W/CIP II), as required by s.
46.27 (11g) and s.
46.277 (5m). The attached report describes the persons served, program expenditures, and services delivered through the COP, COP-Waiver and CIP II programs in calendar year 2004. I am pleased to report that the number of individuals receiving community-based long-term care through COP and all waivers continues to grow, reaching 26,923 individuals in 2004.
The Community Options Program provides services to people who are elderly or who have a physical, developmental or mental disability, and is closely coordinated with all of Wisconsin's Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waivers.
As you know, Wisconsin's successful Family Care Waiver has built on the learning and success of COP and CIP waivers. Working together, we will expand Family Care to provide comprehensive and individualized long-term care to individuals, helping keep more people healthy and independent in communities.
Sincerely,
Helene Nelson
Secretary
Referred to committee on Aging and Long-Term Care.
