Narrative

Personal Care Attendant Program is a MassHealth-funded program that is available to anyone with MassHealth or CommonHealth. Person must have a permanent disability, live in a home environment and needs hands on personal care for at least two activities of daily living. If necessary, time for important tasks such as laundry, shopping, and housekeeping can be set up along with personal care. CLW assists consumers set up this program. They can hire personal care attendants to assist in their care.

Every year CLW serves over 2,000 people in Central Massachusetts who have Medicaid insuarance and need the help of a Personal Care Attendant (PCA).
