FAQ

For your convenience, here are some of the questions commonly asked by clients and prospective clients. We hope that the answers will guide you to choosing us as your home health care provider:

How do I get a Personal Care Attendant?

As a Medical Assistant (MA) or Community Alternatives Program recipient, contact your case manager and let them know your desires or needs for the individual in need of personal care support.

Who hires the Personal Care Attendant?

Typically the case manager at your provider agency will provide qualified staff for you to interview, but you can also recommend family members (excluding parents) or individuals that you know. They will be required to meet the same standards as the staff that the provider agency would recommend. This may require training and employment, criminal background check and health care provider background check provided by your provider agency.

Who is eligible?

You may be eligible for PCA services if you have (MA) Medical Assistance.

• You have a permanent or chronic disability that impairs your ability to perform ADL's (Activities of Daily Living)
• You need physical assistance with ADLs
• Personal Care services are prescribed by your physician or nurse practitioner
• Family First Home Care determines that PCA services are medically necessary.

How many hours of service will I get?

The public health nurse from the county will help Family First Home Care decide whether you qualify for PCA services, and how many hours of service you need. They will conduct an evaluation, which will describe your personal care needs in detail, and recommend how many hours of PCA services you need each week. After approval by your physician or nurse practitioner, this evaluation is sent to Family First Home Care, which makes the final decision about whether you are eligible and how many hours of PCA services will be approved for you.

How are services determined for children?

Personal care services are based on needs that arise because of a disability which impairs an individual's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. For very young children, who would not normally be independent in their activities of daily living (for example bathing, dressing, eating, toileting), PCA services will not generally be approved for activities that are considered routine child care.
