What Elderly Waiver (EW) covers
The Elderly Waiver pays for services — not room and board. DHS states plainly that "you are responsible for paying the costs of room and board" in an assisted living setting, so ask every provider for those two numbers separately. Not every assisted living facility accepts Elderly Waiver residents, and some cap how many they serve.
