I want to maintain my independence.
Some of the individuals and families we support prefer to arrange and manage their own support services. We're delighted to help you do that successfully and safely.
Through our Personal Care Support Provider Program, Living Innovations can provide support and coaching to you - or your representative - to hire,
train and supervise your own support providers. Living Innovations is the “employer of
record” so all payroll and Worker’s Compensation issues
are taken care of and we are there to help as needed.
The Personal Care Support Provider Program
The Personal Care Support Provider (PCSP) program is a consumer-directed, non-medical, hands-on personal care program. With this option, the person being supported (or their representative) may choose to be in charge of locating, hiring and training the caregiver. As an alternative, Living Innovations is able to direct and supervise care.
Who is eligible for the PCSP Program?
Anyone in need of personal care is eligible for PCSP services. Medicaid-eligible persons who desire to direct their own services or who have an authorized representative to supervise the care may choose the consumer-directed option.
Who can be a Personal Care Support Provider -- and what can they do?
A Personal Care Support Provider can be a neighbor, friend, relative, or someone else you wish to hire who completes a free 40-hour training program. A publicly-funded PCSP may not be the individual's legally responsible relative, legal guardian, representative, or a person granted power of attorney. A PCSP can assist with any of the following tasks:
- Housekeeping and cleaning
- Meal planning and cooking
- Errands and shopping
- Paying bills
- Basic personal care and grooming
- Dressing
- Transfer assistance
- Mobility assistance
- Assistance with toileting and hygiene
- Assistance with personal appliances
- Assistance with self administration of medication
- Community integration
- Driving
- Pet Care
- Yard Work
- and more!
