Accra Home Care I is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals who require support to remain independent in their own homes. The organization provides a range of individualized homecare services tailored to the unique needs of each client, whether they are children, adolescents, adults, or older adults. Services are designed to offer support for both individuals with disabilities and those with long-term care needs, covering all aspects of daily living assistance.
A key service offered by Accra Home Care I is the Self-directed Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Choice program, which is available to both children and adults. This program assists with everyday activities, such as dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, mobility, transfers, positioning, and toileting. For adults, additional support such as light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation is also available. These services can be accessed not only within the home but also within the community, providing flexibility and continuity of care.
Accra Home Care I functions as a Financial Management Service (FMS) provider, making it simple for clients to utilize self-directed service programs. Through its Financial Management Services, clients, including those in the Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) or Consumer Support Grant (CSG) programs, can easily hire and directly employ caregivers of their choosing. This approach empowers clients to select trusted individuals who are suited to their care requirements and allows for the purchase of other supports necessary for independent living in the community.
The care home holds a 245D license, enabling it to offer a variety of specialized services, including respite, homemaker services, Individual Community Living Support (ICLS), Individual Home Supports (IHS) without training, IHS with training, and night supervision. Clients have the option to choose a qualified worker for each service, ensuring that their needs and preferences are always at the forefront. For IHS with training, a staff member is specifically matched to the client. Each client benefits from the guidance of an assigned 245D Accra Service Coordinator, who collaborates with county case managers to facilitate and administer Waivered Services under the 245D program.
