Home and Community Based Services Final Rule North Carolina supports serving individuals with disabilities in the most integrated settings possible, based on what is clinically appropriate as defined by the individual’s person-centered planning process. We believe that individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity to live in community settings that reflect community values and standards. Through engaging beneficiary and provider stakeholders, we will create a plan that supports individuals through a person-centered process, builds upon our already existing system and supports providers to ensure compliance with rules.
