PERSONAL CARE SERVICES

Personal Care Services (PCS) are supports provided in the family or individual’s home.  These services provide necessary one-on-one assistance both in the home and community. This service includes assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, toileting, transferring, health maintenance activities, feeding, mobility and exercises, socialization and recreational activities.  PCS supports the individual in accessing medical services and normal daily activities by accompanying the individual to accomplish tasks based on their assessed needs. Currently on the IDD waiver, these services can either be Self-Directed, or Agency-Directed. 

SELF-DIRECTED: The individual and/or their guardian hires and trains the staff and works with a Financial Management
Services organization to complete payroll.

AGENCY-DIRECTED: Hiring and training staff is completed by the Agency. (Not self-directed by the person receiving services)
