“Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

-Martin Luther King, Jr

What is Waiver Participant Assistance & Care?

Dream it.

Participant Assistance & Care (PAC) services are provided to allow individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities to remain and live successfully in their own homes and function and participate in their communities. PAC services support and enable the individual in activities of daily living, self-care, and mobility with hands-on assistance, prompting, reminders, support, and monitoring needed to ensure the health and safety, of the individual.

Activities may include any task or tasks of direct benefit to the individual that would generally be performed independently by persons without intellectual/developmental disabilities or by family members for or on behalf of persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
