All of our services are provided with the independent living philosophy as their foundation. For a complete description of the philosophy, click here.
Independence does not mean doing everything by yourself. A
Personal Assistant is someone who can help with routine tasks at
home or work, such a dressing, toileting, transferring into and out of
a wheelchair, cooking, feeding, and other activities of daily living.
They may also provide reminders about medication, safety and other
responsibilities.
Don’t we maintain a registry of such people???
ILRC staff makes referrals of potential personal assistants
who have completed an initial application and screening process
including written documentation and reference checks. Staff also
offer instruction in recruiting, hiring and management of personal
care assistants. A personal assistant under your direction can do the
things you are not able to do for yourself.
