English term or phrase: community-based
If you or your representative request an increase in home and community-based services authorized by your case manager and your request is denied, the same process is followed.

Yes, I know that this is a very straightforward question but it is not easy to choose between the two available options.

This can either mean the people living in one particular area or people who are considered as a unit because of their common interests, social group, or nationality or the locality inhibited by such people (region). I think this refers to the region since "community based" is defined as used to describe an activity that is organized and takes place locally in this link https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/communit...

Selected answer:local
Explanation:
The answer is there in your reference. It means you don't have to travel far to receive the service, and it's probably provided by a small clinic rather than a big regional hospital, assuming this is healthcare.

The answer to both of your additional questions is no. Neither is correct English.

And the answer to your third additional question is also no. A region is bigger than a local area. The south of France is a region, and so is southeast Asia. This is the opposite of regional - it's a local service that you can access quickly and easily.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Is 'region based' a good suggestion?

Asker: Kindly please answer this question. Is it correct if I use "community-based" in this sense? He was interested in the Asian community. Therefore, he conducted a research. This community-based research will address...

Asker: I was thinking that this word is very close to "region'? Can you tell me what the difference is? If it is not very far from you then it is in your region.

Asker: THANKS
