Services We Provide:
We manage payroll and taxes and provide Worker’s Compensation Insurance. We have a registry of trained direct care providers to choose from or you can choose to find your own. We provide ongoing assistant training and any support you need to be a successful employer. Independence – Self Directed Care. Losing your independence can be a great fear and asking for assistance often does not come easily. Our goal is to help you maintain your independence. You choose who you want to hire as a direct care provider and you train them to do things your way! You remain in your home, doing the things you love to do, with a little care and help from your chosen in-home assistant. Through 1st Choice you can have Self Directed or Traditional Care. Self-Direct Care means you handle everything about your care except paying the assistant. Traditional Care still allows you the freedom to choose things you feel comfortable with and then leave the rest to us. Services Assistants Can Provide:
Meal Preparation
Dress/Hygiene Assistance
Medication Reminders
Housekeeping
Companionship
Transportation

(These are a few of the services available through the A & D Waiver, paid for by Medicaid.) You may qualify for the A & D (Aged and Disabled) Wavier and have your services paid for by Medicaid, either completely or with a monthly co-pay.
-You can choose to pay privately if you do not qualify for the A & D Waiver. We will take care of all payroll and taxes, as well as Worker’s Compensation Insurance. In order to find out if you qualify for A & D Waiver services, you must contact the Department of Health and Welfare and tell them you want to be assessed for in-home assistance. They will send a nurse to your home to see if you qualify, what kind of services are available to you and how many hours you will be able to receive those services each week. To set up an appointment, call the Health and Welfare office at 1-877-799-4430. Once you have been notified that you qualify for services through the A & D Wavier, you can choose to contact 1st Choice and we will ensure that you receive the services you qualify for.
