Narrative

A Personal Care Attendant (PCA) is a person who does things for you that you are physically unable to do yourself. A PCA also helps you do things that would take a very long time to do on your own. The duties of the PCA vary, depending on the nature of your disability and your daily schedule.

We can help:

• Evaluate to find out how much help you need
• Facilitate the recruitment of a PCA
• Provide help on how to train and manage a PCA
• Explain the paperwork process involved with having a PCA

Who We Serve:

• People ages 3 and up who need hands-on, physical help to complete at least two activities of daily living
• Persons with a chronic or ongoing disability or illness which affects their functional ability to complete activities of daily living
• Persons who are able to manage the PCA Program (hire, train, and schedule PCAs and submit timesheets)

Respite Care Relief: Everyone deserves a break. We offer respite care grants, giving caregivers the precious gift of time to recharge and take care of themselves.
