Accra Home Health VIII is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals by providing personalized homecare services and support tailored to each person's unique needs. The organization specializes in self-directed Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Choice services, available to both children and adults. These services are designed to assist with everyday activities of daily living, including dressing, grooming, eating, bathing, transfers, mobility, positioning, and toileting. For adults, additional support such as light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation is also offered, promoting independence and a better quality of life within the comfort and familiarity of one’s own home.
In addition to its robust PCA services, Accra Home Health VIII operates as a Financial Management Service (FMS) provider, helping clients and their families navigate the complexities of self-directed care. Through programs such as Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG), individuals can easily hire and employ caregivers that best fit their preferences and needs. Accra Home Health VIII facilitates the direct employment of support workers and enables the purchase of additional supports required for clients to continue living successfully within their communities.
As a 245D licensed provider, Accra Home Health VIII offers a wide range of services, including respite care, homemaker assistance, Individual Community Living Support (ICLS), Individual Home Supports (IHS) with and without training, and night supervision. For each of these services, clients are empowered to select a trusted and qualified worker who aligns with their specific needs. In the case of services requiring specialized training, such as IHS with training, the organization ensures that a qualified staff member is matched carefully to the client. Throughout the process, an assigned 245D Accra Service Coordinator collaborates with the client and county case manager to set up and manage the waivered services efficiently.
