Consumer Directed Personal Care Services
The
Alzheimer's Resource Agency of Alaska has a Consumer Directed Personal
Care Program in order to help a person have a more active role in the
selection of home care services. Elderly individuals who are eligible
for Medicaid can now choose to manage their own Personal Care Services
through this new program. The Consumer Directed Care Program allows a
person to manage their own care; including hiring, scheduling, training
and supervising their own provider. If someone is unable to manage their
own services, they can appoint a personal representative.
To be
eligible for services, a person must be over the age of 60 years old or
of any age with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder, eligible for
Alaska Medicaid, eligible for home care services or need assistance with
activities of daily living and be able to select and supervise a
personal care provider or have a legal guardian who is able and willing
to make choices on their behalf. If you would like more details
