🧑‍🦯 Participant Assistance Care (PAC)

 We believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to live with dignity and independence. Our Participant Assistance and Care (PAC) services are designed to provide essential daily support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them manage tasks at home and engage confidently in their community.

🌟 What Is Participant Assistance & Care? PAC is a flexible, direct support service offered through the Family Support (FS) Waiver. It provides hands-on assistance and oversight to support individuals in maintaining their routines, staying safely in their homes, and remaining engaged in their community. All support is meticulously customized according to the individual’s Person-Centered Individualized Support Plan (PCISP), ensuring that their unique needs and preferences are met.

🧩 What Does PAC Cover? PAC services can vary based on individual need, and may include:

• Personal Hygiene Support – Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. 
• Meal Help – Supporting meal preparation and nutritional needs. 
• Errands & Shopping – Help picking up groceries, prescriptions, and more. 
• Appointments – Support in scheduling, attending, and navigating medical or personal appointments. 
• Household Tasks – Light home upkeep like laundry, tidying, and organizing.
• Paperwork Assistance – Help understanding mail, managing bills, or completing forms. 
• Mobility Aid – Physical support with movement, transfers, or equipment use. 
• Behavior Plan Support – Reinforcing behavioral strategies and safety protocols. 
• Daily Supervision – Ongoing oversight to ensure safety and consistency throughout the day. 

👥 Who Can Deliver PAC Services? Services may be provided by trained Direct Support Professionals. However, in approved cases, a family member or guardian can also provide these services if the individual is 18 years or older. This approach allows for familiar, trusted care with proper structure and accountability, but it's important to note that not all family members or guardians may be eligible to provide these services, and it's subject to approval.
